So my passenger HID light started flickering and then just turned off when I turn my lights on after switching the bulbs I found out that the ball of fun and it has to be a ballast issue and instead of buying a new original Ballas I decided to buy a kensun hid kit it said it would fit my car now that I have it apart it doesn't seem like it will work has anybody use these to replace their ballast and bulb before? I got a repair order to fix my light and I have about 3 days left.

Should have gone with OEM.



Now you'll need to splice /cut the OEM harness to attach to the aftermarket HID kit. May need to purchase some 9006 female pigtails to help with it

I can probably just return this and order a new oem ballast amazon has it new for 70 bucks. I don't think I'd trust my wiring skills and I don't want to do this for a kit that said it world fit. Now would an OEM ballast be able to run a 10,000k bulb or just stock?

10,000 K is just the color temperature of the bulb. It's not recommended for visibility sake and quality. It's also a quality issue because no real Company that cares about the quality of their bulbs would make a 10,000Kelvin bulb because they know visibility would be shit.


Long answer but yes. Return shitty kit, buy OEM. Stick with OEM bulb

The answer is always no when talking about a 10,000K bulb.....always.

You got the wrong kit.... I do think Kensun makes the best PnP kit, but you can only use OEM... (Original Equipment Manufacturer)... Go on eBay, and get a used OEM ballast...

Use the Kensun for something cool, like high beams... Oh wait...


And DO NOT get 10K bulbs... You'll look like a blue faced retard, none the less... Just get Osram 5,000K bulbs, I hear good things about them...

Please rice ruin the TL... You already have nice HIDs, besides, they won't match or fit correctly... Even with similar bulbs the color won't match, and one will light up in under 10 seconds, whereas the other will thanks nearly a full minute!!!

Dont Do It!!!

do you know how hard it is to see at night time with 10000 Kelvin bulbs?
you have to squint and strain your eyes. it's so fuckin' hard to operate a 3500lb vehicle when you cant fuckin' see.

Oh Sickest TL

I put 10k bulbs in our beater acura EL. theyre great in the winter as they light up a lot and reflect off the snow but at night if its foggy or something, forget about seeing anything 20ft in front of you.

I put them in cuz my GF likes the blue/purple colour LMFAO
