I ordered a set of 8000k HID replacements and installed them earlier today. The install was a complete pain as I had to take the fenderwell out to reach the back of the headlights. For anyone doing the install I recomment getting a new set of push-tabs because a handful of them will most likely break when you try to reuse them.

As far as the performance the 4300k factory bulbs were a noticeable amount brighter than the 8000ks (as stated in a handful of threads on here). I didnt have my camera to take a comparison picture, but I turned my lights on when I installed the first bulb. On initial startup the bulbs appeared similar in color, but about 20 seconds later a noticeable difference could be seen. The 8000ks appeared much bluer. It is in no way a deep purple, more like a hyper blue color.

The looks of the 8000ks definitely outweigh the small decrease in light output.


The only thing I noticed is that when I go over bumps the lights flicker, does anyone know if this is normal for new bulbs?

 

not sure, but i had a similar problem with my driver side when i just putted them on,after i take it off and reinstalled it and the problem been solved.
so i recommand u to check the plugs to the bulb, it might be loose or something.

 

Sounds like a loose wire...

 

yeah I am going to check the wiring when I go back in to reaim my passenger side headlight.
