Default HELP: OEM HID for IS250 Flicker....

I have a 2008 IS250 with OEM HID's (D4S i believe) and I replaced my bulbs a little over a year ago and now I'm not sure if its my HID or the bulbs.

When I drive one side or the other seems to turn off and then i would have to turn it off complete and fire it back up. Do I have to replace the bulbs?

What's a reliable 6000k HID bulb? I heard good things about Garax.

HELP!!!!

HI,

Your ballast may be going bad, if you have already swapped a new bulb, then it's the ballast that needs to be replaced.
