i just got my hella hid 5200k for my 99 gsr and i love them. but the left side is a little yellowish/greenish. also....when i turn it on, the left side flickers like a candle not a lot...just looks like the bulb is wobbling up and down... anyone know why this would happen? also....i'm running 30 fuse for the L & R low beam....my friend told me to because he tried 15 and it blew on him....
thanks...

 

i got the same problem with my h1s. MTKcommander (hid ****) told me that it's because of the chemical in the bulb. you can try to fix it by taking out the bulb and hang it upside down so the chemical can mix properly.

did it work for you? hang for how long? just once or do it periodically?

 

Are you sure the bulb isn't loosely seated in the headlight housing?

positive...i've tried screwing it tighter but it won't go.... and someone said not to do it too hard for it might break...

 

nope it didn't work. it's slightly yellowish/greenish. i should've done it before the install. it has something to do with bulb aging, i hope it changes color in the future. it only looks like that from a close distance. from far away, i can't really tell. time for new bulbs?

btw, what brand hid do you have? and from who?

It could be the housing, not the bulbs. You ever considered that?

5200k is more bluish on other integs with the same projectors compared to mine.. i'll check my housing to see if there's crap in it to clean out....but i still need an explaination about the flickering thing

 

Mine flicker too. Well one doesn't anymore since I got a newer generation ballast.

Flickering on warm up is normal though.
