ordered Philips ultinon 6000k D2S Bulbs today! finally will have a legit pair of bulbs..unfortunately my ones from MM I have had issues with..the 6000k driver side one would never stop flickering when I hit a bump...passenger side never did it once...so I took them out and switched to my 8000k ones. Sure enough same issue. checked the ignitor and the ignitor doesnt fully tighten around the bulb because the to looking points on the bulb itself are smaller than the OEM therefore allowing play isnide the ignitor.

I think re-installed back my OEM 4300k and havent had an issue with flickering yet.

I ordered legit Bulbs "philips replacement 6000k" to see if when installed if they flicker or not. If this dont solve my problem I will have to take a look at the driver side headlight and make sure everything is tightened down all the way from vibration and movement.

They are made by other manufacturers other than Work too, but the ones you guys like are all Work wheels. The quote I got actually had the Work's for a little cheaper than the same Venaci's. I know you guys have the hook up, so that is probably not the case, but just FYI.....

After driving your truck I can safely say stereo.. It is lacking big time in that department.

Well, the steps I intend to go with will be mean looking steps. Need something to go with the bull bar. Though I love it, seems a little off by itself. And with the wheels and tires I intend to get, may NEED the bars...
