Hid Experts

i posted this in first gen too, but i wanted to see what kind of responses i would get here too

so I bought this HID PLUS xenon headlight kit a year or two ago, one of the bulbs has JUST changed color dramatically, it flickers when i take a turn too fast or drive over bumps slightly, doesn't happen often but happens enough to notice, the color on the driver side bulb is not the color it used to be, (white blue), its like almost a bright halogen color now, but the bulb definitely does not match

i've looked for replacement bulbs, but the best i found was 119.99,

too expensive for just one bulb, if i change i got to change two right? i want to get white bulbs now, anyone know if there is a cheaper alternative? is there a way to run let's say a oem bulb outta lexus or acura to my HID plus hella ballasts? thanks for any feedback, my headlights are so annoying now, i gotta get it fixed asap

does the connector in your ballasts look like this?


if so i can get you 2 oem philips d2s 4100k bulbs for $80 shipped, but ull have to get them to focus and stay in place. basically you'll have to modify the bulb or the housing. if your ballasts dont have d2s connectors then there's nothing you can do.

this is one of the many reasons why im completely against kits.
