I need help ~><"I bought the replacement D2S 12000K HID bulbs, just replaced the OEM4300K today, but after i turn on the lights , both headlights will go off about the same time in about 20 seconds, if I turn them off and on again,they light up for 20 seconds again, can't stay for long , dont know what's the problem, need some help...PLZ....

 

i will mod all of you guys.....videos of new mod will be up later on today

 

hey deedub, not sure if you have heard this or not but did you know they make wet and dry carbon fiber (glossy and flat) i guess the dry is like half the weight of the wet carbon fiber but i am sure the price is twice as much.

 

PLZ

You have bad bulbs. The ballast is shutting down to prevent damage.

Honestly, I dunno what you're thinking buying 12000k bulbs. Thats damn near black light which is really dangerous on the road.

 

phil: 12K bulbs should NEVER EVER be used ona car that's actually driven on public roads. You can't see **** with those things.

put the OEM's back in, problem solved.

 

I bought 8 k bulbs and they seem fine......... Phil, you probably have defective bulbs of some sort, send it back!!

 

there's a bigass difference between 8k bulbs and 12k

 

As I mentioned before, the voltage and power output is too high for the ballasts so it shuts them off to prevent damage unless you upgrade the ballasts somehow otherwise you'll fry your wiring, harness, and ballasts as well as blow out a fuse or two.

 

It's not defective. I remember reading that our car's ballasts can take up to a maximum of 9000 Kelvin. That's the reason why you were able to use 8000K bulbs. ALSO, you had the sport package on the AT so you weren't using HID bulbs (unless it's those fake bulbs that says "HID" on them).

 

The ballast doesn't care what color temp the bulbs are.

 

Bored beyond belief at work.... might post pics & vids from this weekend in a min...

 

did a 0-60 run with 65 shot of nitrous, my shitty phone cam didn't start fast enough to take the vid lol
