Diode Dynamics HID Bulbs?

I am thinking about getting the Diode Dynamics's "2008-2013 Infiniti G37 Coupe Replacement OEM HID Bulbs (Pair)" in 6000K.

I was wondering if any one had an experience with this HID Bulb? Any pros and cons?

Flickering?
Fitment issues?
Burn outs earlier than expected?

Supposedly Diode Dynamics has fixed the flickering issue that plagued it on some variations of our headlights, figment was always good and longevity also. Morimoto XB35 is also pretty good just runs warm even at 6500K.

I think diode dynamics has the best lightening for our cars and I'm also fairly certain whatever flickering issues there were are now fixed.

Do you remember how long ago did these flickering problems occur?

In terms of Morimoto and DD, which one has a higher lumen?

I wanna say diode dynamics has higher lumens ad they give you the option to choose high how you want to go. As for the flickering I can't speak on thay since I've never had an issue ever with their lights and I've bought A LOT from them. I'm constantly adding and changing lol. Here's some pictures of my 6k hid lights when I installed then about 3 months ago. They still look just as good and are just bright.

I plan on doing the same thing. Let us know if you like them.

Just installed Diode Dynamics 6000k bulbs on Saturday and I love them!

No flickering or any issues installing.

Love the white/very faint tint of blue output. plus they are super bright.

10/10

Nothing against Diode Dynamics, but have you looked at other brands? Morimoto? Philips? Osram?

Did you see the price points on them? Willing to shell out 100+ on Philips? If money is not a issue more power to ya.

I have looked into Morimoto, but not the other two. I will look into the other two and thanks!

In terms of Philips and Osram, how do they compare to DD?

Not sure about Goonz, but for me, I don't mind paying a little more for higher quality and dependability. However, I do love great quality with a great deal.

For now, I am leaning towards DD based on what others have said and experienced.

I had them, I actually still have a few sets of bulbs at the house. But I ran into an issue that the passenger side HID wouldn't come on unless a flipped it on and off like 5 times? This was after I had the headlamp replaced. Other than that I really liked their bulbs!

I have the Morimoto XB35 8k's now
