HID Kit, Drivers side has changed colors

[JACCORD01]

MY HID Kit in my car, my drivers side has changed to a yellowish/dimmed tint rather than the fully crispy white like my passengers side, it randomly happened, I havent had them for too long.. is it a loose connection, or more of a burning out bulb? Your opinion..?

My 8k kit did the same. It was worse when it was really cold out, like closer to 5 degrees or 0 out. The ballast would kick the bulb on and off (flicker) and occasionally it would turn yellow. My friend told me it was because it was cold, but I think it's due more to a fault in the ballast, or wiring. As if it's not striking arc properly or something.

i went to a store that specialized in em and was told that whenever its cold u gotta give em a min to warm up and it also happens if ur bulbs arent the original ones for the ballasts....i havent come across this issue personally because i need bulbs for my ballast lol

this happened to mine too, and my boyfriends. His is worse than mine though. Mine just slightly fades when its cold on the passenger side.

This guy just said it all there you get what you pay for I got 8k hids that I paid 150 for from a local car shop and I never had a problem with them even after my accident they work fine.

yup, im starting to sell quality HID setups for about 90 bucks. When i mean quality i mean good enough to put in my car and my standards are pretty high. =]

not for nothin but thats what alot of potential sellers say lol

you always have to let your aftermarket HIDs warm for at least 30sec-1 minute. if its still discolored, try switching bulbs (put the passenger side bulb in the drivers side)and see what happens. if nothing do the same with the ballasts. if its still the same then its the bulb itself.

and yes my do flicker in the cold or rain when turning on. i do get the occasional "fuck you" from the light and it doesnt turn on. i usually just turn on the car first to warm everything up inside the bay to help warm the ballast up a tad bit. hope that helps

btw my kit is the techone kit
