It is much brighter now that I have new bulbs installed.
Just contact The Retrofit Source. I'm sure it has been resolved by now.

mine is an 09. you mentioned that at some point the ballasts were changed out, so does this mean that the earlier models had ballasts that were aftermarket-friendly?
I spoke with diode dynamics today and the representative brought it up before i even asked. He was like "oh....what year is your 370Z?" and went on to explain that depending on the year, i may need to switch out ballasts?

I have a 2014 with only 10k miles on it
First i tried ijdmtoy bulbs. Then morimoto bulbs from TRS... Had thr same problem with both, one light wouldnt come on for a while or both unless u turned the switch on and off a few times
The problem was the ballast connector where the light plugs in, the shop said the two little metal pieces that touch the light needed to be bent inwards...
Instead i opted to order phillips crystal vision bulbs at $250 a set... Never had a flicker or problem since.
But ur choice

yeah i was originally gonna go with ijdmtoy's bulbs, but saw more negative reviews than positive...
what temp. are your philips?
