HID Problem

Hey guys I have a 6000k plug and play kit. Now my passenger side light just turned a little bit more blue. So my drivers side is still a nice white but my passeger side is a blue colour. Is this a sign of the bulb burning out? or is my plug and play kit crapping out?

Re: HID Problem

no if you look straight on at the car you can clearly see that one is blue and one is white. The bulb also flickered on and off while driving.

Re: HID Problem

i get some flickering sometime as well, but not from headlights... color is good though. has the bulb warmed up all the way?

Re: HID Problem

your bulb is about to go. those pnp kit bulbs are pretty bad quality. if its colorshifting and flickering, theres not much life left on the bulb

welcome to the wonderful world of crappy PNP HID kits. get used to it. the only way to avoid it is to go with OEM parts.

Re: HID Problem

How much use did you get out of that kit? I purchased a xneon pnp kit from e-bay for about 150. I've got about half a year into them with no probs. Whats the life expectancy of these cheaper brands. Also will a better brand bulb work on these?
