More headlight problems! Yay!

Alright so originally i was having an issue with my low beams turning off when doing hard pulls, under normal driving it usually doesnt happen, but it has. Figured it was either a ballast or bulb issue and i found some cheap bulbs to replace so much to my surprise while i was replacing the bulbs i see brand new ballasts in my headlights! Now with new bulbs im still having the same issue. Idk what the old color temp was but the new ones are 8000k and now i notice the lights are turning off even lower in the rpm range. Please help im all out of ideas as to what the problem is and i dont want to deal with any mechanics touching my car. 😓😓

Perhaps a loose connection or ground. Recheck your previous work.

wrong bulbs !! 5000k if you want to see the road,
and no guarantee the ignitors are good--new ballast suggest dealer or body shop was involved

You seem to have some grounding issues... Re-check all connections and look at the battery terminals for a rusted ground, specially the one going to the trans..

the OE system is picky about what bulbs you run- resistance wise (iirc what is doesn't like)
one of the many reasons an aftermarket kit is widely used by ziners
