It's not a problem with your ballasts. The problems is that the D4 bulbs you are installing are throwing an error code with your OEM ballast. We went though this issue a while ago however have since rectified that problem by "tweaking" the bulb.

We carry D4 bulbs in 6000k & 8000k:

Make sure to type in "CLGB08" as the coupon code to save $20/bulb.

If that isn't good customer service I don't know what is.

Followup: put in the Xenon Depot bulbs (didn't get a chance to do it last night since UPS came at 7pm and it was hot lol)...guess what, NO FLICKERING during warmup...that was all i asked for! Did a short 10 min burn in test...lights stay on. Bulbs are a perfect match with my parking lights! Will take pics and do more tests tonight! w00000t!!!
