VinZ,,

I'm trying to do just that..

Here is my story about trying bulbs so far...


I purchased some Morimoto 6000K bulbs from the retrofit source, I installed them and
tried turning them on, they would just flicker and turn off immediately.

I purchased some 6000K bulbs from iJDMtoy, and installed them, when I turned on the
lights one bulb would work, but If I turned the lights on about 4 times quickly they would both work ?

BUT, as soon as I put the stock bulb back in both sides work perfectly... ?????

I then found a local place that sold HID light bulbs, (brand unknown) went there and installed the bulbs in parking lot, neither bulb would work unless I flipped the lights about 4 times then they would stay on. But when turned off for a bit they would not turn back on unless I flipped the lights.. He had some aftermarket ballasts and tested the bulbs and they all worked fine.

I put the stock bulbs back in and they work perfectly.

Are the factory ballasts not very strong ? I don't understand how the bulbs would work on the aftermarket ballast but not the factory? All the bulbs were 35W D2S.
