cmoney23 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) UPDATED IN POST#9 WITH PICS AND VIDEO.... So i put a HID kit in my fog lights today. I got the raptor 35w, 12K ones. And when i turn them on 1 bulb is blue then after about 5 seconds it turns to just plan white. The other side works fine. Stays blue and the one starts out blue then turns white. I guess i need a new bulb right? So sick of buying this crap and right after install having to return i then wait another 2-3 weeks for a dam bulb.

The_aSSet Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 When they start up they're just warming up, unless i'm not understanding correctly. Is the one bulb dimmer or just a different color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_aSSet Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 If its not any dimmer or flickering then you most likely have a 5k or 6k bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Chivo 1986 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 You should of went with the 55w slim in those kits i have not got any problems. On da 35w raptor kits OMG problems. I did a lil test i had i some extra 55w slim and i swaped the hids to the raptor kit and yes they turn diffrent colors. I have the same fogs on my 01 silverado with 55w slim no heat or any problems. If that helps you. They been on for close to 1 year.same on the head lamps. Highs our pink to flash ppl nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoney23 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Looks like 2 different bulb temps to me Swap the bulbs and see if it changes Yeah i know, but why would they start up the same exact color? Why would a white temp start up as a blue temp? Could it be a ballast issue?I will swap bulbs tomorrw to see if its the ballast. Ive done enough today Edited April 5, 2012 by cmoney23 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
