Re: 3000k hid headlights, legal or illegal.

IThe way I see it, something on almost all of our cars is illegal anyways, do we all still do it? yes! so if you like it, go for it!! Building YOUR car for YOU not people of vortex or whatever.

I have no problem with this comment other then when it comes to safety of other people on the road. If you want to mess with your airbags then go right ahead. When you make lights that can blind other people or make you a hazard on the road at night because you can't see squat. That is when I have a problem. All I can really say to this thread is for everyone to optimize their lights to make them more effective, not to make them just look cool.

I agree with you 100% BUT with his setup i bet you he can still see just as good if not better than half the cars on the road. I have driven from his point of view and had him follow me and have no concerns, his lights are less blinding to me than newer full size trucks and suv with HID or halogen. When it comes to modifying cars and saftey it can be a very opinionated topic and i will leave it with that.

One of my bulbs is finicky too now Sean. Ballast problem? It does a quick flicker when I turn them on but only one fires up. But other times it comes on right away. Possible ballast problem? Or maybe moisture in the connector?

That sounds like a ballast or connection problem. But most likely ballast since it runs steady, maybe a problem with the ignitor? Try switching the bulbs from left to right and see if it is the bulb or connector.
