So did anyone find any aftermarket bulbs that will work without modification? Ready to pull the trigger on some 6000k but not sure which ones to get.

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.
