lowbeam hid help

[ezrax5]

I teplaced my stock headlights bulbs with 6k bulbs from eBay... The passenger side works fine but the driver flikers then turns off. I have yo turn the headlight on and off a few times for them both to stay on....?


Do you think these are just bad bulbs or is there something else I could do to get this fixed

Did you change the ballasts or running OEM ballasts?

And what is the wattage rating on the new bulbs?

It sounds like either the ballasts are struggling to ignite the bulb, or you may need to turn off the 'cold check' function

OEM ballest . the bulbs are 35 watt

What is the cold check function?

[SMOKEY53]

cold check function is something that the LCM does on startup to check the function of your bulbs. It pulses them when the lamps are switched off with a low current to make sure that the circuit is complete. If it's not, then you get a 'BULB OUT' warning on your display.

What brand did you purchase?
Is it some Chinese generic brand? If so that's the first problem.
Have you contacted the seller for the issue?

They have alreaded refunded me the money and I still have the bulbs installed. They have no brand name

Sounds like a ballast
