so i got my hid's in the mail today put them in, took a while to get the spring clip back in, my bad anyways i got them both in and one side seems to have more of a blue tint to it i got the 5000k kit is there anyway to see if maybe there was a different temp buld mixed up in there? my first set of hid's is it something i did?

 

Make sure that all your connections are tight.

 

also do they all do the flicker when you first turn them on? thanks guys!

 

Yes...(not really a flicker...but they will brighten a bit) it takes a few seconds to come up to full intensity.

 

I have 5000k bulbs and they are definitely blue. Are bulbs situated correctly? If not that may be the culprit.

Also they do flicker for a second when powering up - the ballast is putting out some high voltage to ignite the bulb, then it goes down to normal operating voltage.

 

I installed (replaced 5000K) with 4300K and I'm much happier.

I'm spending the next 1-2 hours writing up a nice how-to for this.

I'll title it "HID Install with Photos". It will be in the "Exterior and Lighting" forum.

 

You the man Max !!

 

Mine were in the mail yesterday as well.

Appeared more blue than I expected but seems to make a nice difference on the road.
Biggest difference is the width the light reaches. I notice signs that are set far from the road reflecting much more.

I could not find a place I liked for the ballasts so I ended up removing the headlights and using the self under them. This worked out pretty well as the ballasts are just about invisible.
