S2000's use a D2S 4300k globe probably be a good time to upgrade to 6000k but I would have the ballast sent off for inspection as it's the only thing I can think of that could create a flicker in light and would be wise to have checked to possibly avoid any further damage

else can shed some light on this issue?

Flicker in light can also be due to the Bulb dying which is common due to the life of many inferior/cheap manufactured bulbs.
Lumens or light throw is reduced as the colour (6000k, 8000k etc) increases. Stick with 4300k imo and try to get a genuine Phillips bulb for better bulb life.
I bought mine from http://www.hidbulbsrus.com/ if that helps...
