Hey guys, I got a vled bulbs and the passenger side started flickering, but everytime I turn them on and off they go back to normal, then after a minute it starts flickering. So I doubt that its the bulb and I think its the ballast. But acura thinks its the bulb so I need oem ones to plug in and see if it flickers I have a 3g tl.

And if anyone knows the solution to hid fogs, they keep blinking and turning off. Someone on the forums said its the fuse

Thanks for lookin =)

 

Forgot to mention, ill give them back within 2 days and I need it just to see if its the bulb that's the problem or ballast

 

I think you're confused...
The fogs don't use D2S. The low beams do.

Your fogs would either be 9005 or H11 (atleast I think it was H11), depending on what TL you have (assuming you have a TL).


Flicking light can also be caused by voltage fluctuations (such as a loose wire or bad battery/alternator), just a fyi.

 

The headlight and fogs are two different problems. With the headlight it flickers and with the fogs, when I first turn on the fog lights the blink. One side would turn on the other would turn off and keeps blinking for about 20 seconds before they both stay on.
Acura said that it's the bulb and they're not doing anything unless the car is completely factory. I was told by a different mechanic that it's most likely the ballast. But I'm hoping someone will lend me or sell me their oem bulbs so I can bring it to Acura

 

Oh okay. My apologies. Looks like I was the one who got it mixed up.

Are your foglights stock? Or are they aftermarket?

For either case, it's hard to say what the cause of the issue is without being there to investigate. But you should check for relays, connections, wires and fuses.
As stated above, flickering is caused by fluctuating voltages.

 

No. Stupid nmotion hid kit for fogs. The car is still under warranty so ill just let Acura deal with it once I get it the oem bulbs. I have the oem fogs do it should shut Acura up about the aftermarket parts =)

 

if your car is still under warranty,just bring it to acura and they will replace for you and no charge at all(if its the bulb burn out or the headlight ballest,cuz its factory)....i burn my driver side 6k bulbs,i did bring it back to acura and they do the replace for me and charge me nothing,cuz my car still under warranty

 

I brought it back to Acura and they said that they won't touch the car because the d2s bulbs that are on now are aftermarket d2s from vleds and they also said that the aftermarket hid fogs can also be the reason why the headlights are flickering. So in order for them to actually work on the car then I'm going to have to put the oem d2s bulbs in and oem fog light bulbs in. I have the oem fog lights but not the d2s bulbs

 

which dealership did u went to?..and did u bought ur car from there as well?...do they friend with u as well?

 

I went to burrard and bought it lougheed.
Do you have an extra set of d2s bulbs? I'll buy them off of you if you're willing to sell

 

so why dun u bring it to lougheed and have a try?some dealership may have diff story..

sorry man,i dun have it

 

Yeah I'm gonna try lougheed. But aren't they like worse than Richmond? Richmond was making me pay $120 for diagnostic

 

yeah...try lougheed,cuz u bought ur car from there...good luck bro

 

Haha okay I'll give it a shot. Thanks

 

any update from you bro?

 

Yup, it was the bulb. Thanks =) yo bread does your fogs still twitch like on and off?

 

great to listen from you was the bulb only.....what do u mean? switch like on and off?

 

when you first turn your fogs on one side turns on the other turns off and when the side that turned off turns on again the other one that was on turns off. it just keeps blinking i guess

 

they are running well at summer time....when its cold weather like now,the passenger side still work pretty well,but the driver side will not turn on at the first switch,and i have to keep turn it off and on,after few times,the driver side will on...i bet its the fuse problem,this problem is only happen during winter time....wut about yours?

 

I have the same problem. After they're both on for a bit on side starts turning off randomly. So I have to turn them both on an off. But when I first turn them on they keep blinking for a bit. What hid kit do you have? My problem could be a gay n-motion kit

 

um...i dun even know which brand is my hid kit is...hahaha...

 

where did you buy your fogs? i think i'm going to buy new ballasts and bulbs from ddmtuning

 

Go to the one at Aberdeen centre ground level "super garage" and look for Anthony,say John recommend me to come

Btw,I never have the fuse or flash problem on my HID DRL

 

I got my hid fogs from n-motion too. I think its either their kit or how they connected the hid to our cars connectors. Maybe a connection problem. But yeah, it gets very annoying that i have to always switch my fogs on and off to get them turned on. I got them to replace both of mine already and it still does that. And the thing that pisses me off the most is how they just leave the ballast sitting on the bottom of the plastic behind the bumper. Lazy ass mother fuckers!

 

Also Hidextra is having a 50% off sale on all their kits. They start from $29.99 a kit. Only this weekend though lol

 

Anyone interested in a pair of switchback bulbs for a 3g tl type-s model?

 

Lol those jews at n motion. I just ordered bulbs and ballasts from ddmtuning so hopefully that goes well. How many LED's on the switchbacks that you're selling and where are they from?

 

These are 92 LED's switchbacks from v-leds. They are brand new because I ordered the wrong type of socket. I got a base model but these are for type-s.

 

how much you want for those switchbacks? you have resistors?

 

Do you have 92 LED switchbacks on your car now?

 

Yeah, I got switchbacks on my car now. They look great! I highly recommend them to anyone!

 

I'll eat the shipping cost and sell them for $65. They retail for $69.99+shipping and yeah I have resistors installed.

 

do they look too bright? like compared to your headlights?

 

is it type 1 or 2?

 

They are type 2

 

bright as in color or what?

 

Actually I'll buy em

 

So you'll take them?

 

yeah sure. sometime next week

 

okay just hit me back when you're free
