Today when I got out of the car, my right side bulb was a different color. It looked like a halogen bulb. But I turned them off and turned them back on a few minutes later and it was fine. and it was fine driving home, what could that be? It's a philips 6000k kit

 

monitor it and see if it happens again. maybe a bulb is going out

 

^^Might be the bulb like he said. But if it was going bad it would turn pinkish. Just be on the look out for a few days.

 

if you bought them from xenondepot, i think they offer a 1 year warranty. good luck.

 

nope got 'em from kwimports

 

well, if you replace the bulb, spend the extra cash and replace both - otherwise one will be a diff temp or have a diff warm up period than the other - it may drive you bonkers.

i know it would me.

 

yea if i do replace them i'll do both. it did it again tonight out of the 3 times i used it

 

then it means it's time to replace,replace,replace!!

 

i think i might have found the problem. i switched the bulbs and the same side was acting up. so it has to be the ballast. i took it out and found some water sitting on it. i blew it out with air and what not for a while and it was fixed most of today. but acted up again one time tonight. i might have to get another philips ballast

 

was the water stuck in the plastic housing? if so, sounds like a problematic issue since it affected someone else here earlier this month.

if i were still running my xenondepot kit, i would take my plastic casings off my philips ballasts. i think by doing this, if water were to ever splash onto it, the water would just run off instead of getting trapped in the housing and sitting stagnant.

 

how do i take the plastic covering off?

 

there are tabs on the sides that you need to use a flat head screwdriver to bend and release the plastic casing.

I'll try to take photos tonight of my plastic housing. I took out my philips kit a long time ago but just recently removed the housing to compare the ballast inside.

 

k i got them off, im gonna blow some air all over it today and hope it works. if not, can i buy one of your philips ballasts you have laying around if you do have any laying around?
