Did you put on new ballasts or are you just referring to the DDMTuning bulbs.

I just got an email from retrofitsource and they say they don't carry Rigg HIDs.

Well using anything other than an OEM-type capsule (Philips, Denso, etc) is just asking for problems. I've always been a big proponent of the idea that if you can't afford to do it with the right parts, save up some money until you can.

Ok here is all I can find on the bulbs.. If you can figure out on how to order them I would recommend it.. I am using the bulbs and they are great.. They are great quality and look fantastic. I think they are better quality than the factory bulbs. The contact points are gold plated and the bulbs just look sturdier..

RIGG : HID : 35W ???????????

I had to do the google translation to read any of that..

Here's what they wrote "We do not carry the Rigg bulbs, but our Morimoto's are very close in terms of performance, precision, etc. Virtually identical stuff here- is there a particular reason you're after the Rigg's?"

Well when I ordered the Morimoto bulbs, they wouldn't work, just flicker and turn off.. I called and he (retrofit source) said that I would need to modify my
bulb connector to accommodate the bulb. I was told to slightly bend the metal prongs in with a screwdriver so they would make contact with the bulb contact point.

I sent them back and he sent me the RIGG bulbs..

Anyone have luck in finding a shop that carries the Rigg 6000 bulbs? Retrofit source told me they don't sell Rigg bulbs as well.

Has anyone tried Halo brand D2S HIDs?

I bought these, but haven't installed them yet after reading about all the flickering problems people have been experiencing when installing aftermarket HIDs.

Halo Automotive D2S 6,000k HID Bulb (12v/35w)

One of mine flickered off when I started the car... but now (after about 6 months of using them) it doesn't do it anymore.

Since it quit doing it, I haven't had any issues with them.
