Okay so I got the bulbs and installed them. The left headlight bulb works just fine. But he right headlight bulb turns on and then a second later turns off. That keeps happening until the bulb is warm. Once the bulb is warm the light stays on. U think it's a power issue or it's a bad bulb. I also have Hid fogs.
I have hid lights and fogs on my Toyota and there's never been a problem......

We'd you get the HID's from. This seems to be a common issue with HID's. I had the same problem with mine. Tried 6 bulbs and not of them worked :/. Went back stock, all tho giving these a shot when I get my car back. Morimoto XB HID bulbs read reviews and on here guys have used these with no issues.

Or if you have deep pockets buy the Osram CBI bulbs. They cost $185/pair and are the Rolls Royce of all headlight bulbs.
Those two bulbs are 100% guaranteed to work with our Infiniti headlights which are very well known for being picky when it comes to cheap quality HID bulb replacements.
Osram CBI are actually oem quality whereas Morimotos are aftermarket but very high quality aftermarket brand.
Xenon depot is ehh...
Those are my headlights in my 2011 with Osram CBI bulbs. Very white
Not a really good picture but heres a glimpse of the light output on the back wall.
The bright white light output you see in front of the bumper is actually from my 5000K LED fog lights from www.VLEDs.com
