Yes, same here, flicker during "cold" start; it starts up in lime green and slowly turns to yellow, but not really "dark" yellow, wonder if those are working as expected.

my set of 5000k h11s had been flickering after i have installed
at first it was only one side(driver side flickering)
i drove it around for 20 minutes and still flicking
(also one time that the driver side one could not fire up, i have to turn the car off and wait for a couple of minutes)
so i've decided to change the ballast for both sides but after that both sides started to flick
i didn't have a relay harness so i guess it is the problem?
but i also don't want to drill holes on the plastic cover =\
does anyone know what the problem is?

I got my kit today...ordered H7 kit for my 2008 BMW 5 series. (My lexus has HID standard)...
The packaging was EH...for the guys with all the flickering issues did you get error cancellators/anti flicker cables? I got them with my kit but I am not installing it getting someone else to do it...Just thought that cable might help some of you with the flickering issue.
8k supposed to be blue or light blue? Or white with blue? Every kit is different I don't know if anyone has the 8k kit from HIDextra.
