HELP Hid ballast
long story short one of my hid (after market bulb 10000k) goes out i purchased a new set of 8000k aftermarket bulbs. put them in and they keep flashing and goes out, turn the lights off and back on they come on then does the same thing. i put back in the old 10000k bulb (the one that isn't dead) it doens't flash and it stays on.

A; Wrong bulb color!!!! 5000k will give you the most light on the road to see and avoid objects of destruction
B: Probably have the ballast death issue than many of us encounter
Do you have moisture inside the headlight lens?
A new `kit` with 2 ballast, 2 igniters- wires and 2 bulbs!
can be had from 60$ for everything at HIDeXtra | HID, LED, Xenon Vehicle Headlight Kits & Bulbs to 150- 200$! for morimoto brand

Get a new oem 3g tl ballast,
and stick with 4300k or 5500k.. the higher the kelvin, the less light you will have on the road.
I'd usually recommend aftermarket, but in the 3G TL application, the OEM ballast is one of the bests.
