I got them from autolumination,all led replacement of turn signals require resistor or special flashers to avoid hyper flashing,I used 2 6ohm 50 watt resistors one on each side,one side of the resistor goes to the + side of the turn signal and the other side to - side of it.

Is your main headlight bulb different ? If so what is it ?

No the head light bulb is stock,the only thing thats changed is the 194 marker lamp with a led and the turn signal/parking lamp with a 60 led switch back lamp that is white while the parking lights and or head lights are on then it instantly turns amber when the turn signal is turned on.

Thanks, the reason I was asking is your main headlight bulb has a nice blue tint to it, not too much not too little.

I also have the ordered the 194 parking light led's and am awaiting their arrival.

Not trying to thread jack, but I ordered some 6000K HID bulbs and tried to replace my headlamps the other night. When I installed one of the bulbs, I tested before I reinstalled the fender liner and the bulb flickered and just turned off. I then tried the other bulb with the same result.

Any ideas ?

Here are the bulbs I ordered in 6000K

By any chance did you touch the glass part of the bulb with your fingers?

No, I made sure that I didn't touch them. I have done headlight bulb swaps before. The bulbs also came with some alcohol wipes to wipe bulb before installation... I have no idea what happened. I replaced the stock one and it worked perfectly ??

I was wondering if I was sent the wrong wattage bulbs, would that make a difference ? The packaging didn't say what wattage they were.

Their web site says it is compatible with OEM DS2 if the stock bulbs work then it must be something with there bulbs.

Same thing happened to me today with some 6000k bulbs I ordered. They light up and immediatly shut off. If I turn them off then on 3 times they work. Once they are warm they light up at the first try.... Did u fix urs?

This happened to me as well just today when I changed bulb. Called the seller, waiting for replacement bulb. Assumed is a defected bulb or something. Has not yet tried back the old 1, but will try once received replacement bulb.

I've bought from them before, pricey compared to other stores but their bulbs are top notch. Thanks for the info!
