HID Bulb Problem

Hi, I just receive my 6000k bulb. I've install both correctly but I have a problem. when I turn light **** they flash and then stay off. I need to turn on-off 2-3 time to start the bulb light.

Yes I've bought this bulb on ebay for a low price, but I had the same in my g35 2003 and never had problem.

Did I broke something or it's only bad bulb quality that make that ?
I know that everyone talk about philips bulb but is there any equivalent for less $

Thanks for help!

Wow thats cheap. I personaly think you get what you pay for. I just changed out my headlights for some 5k bulbs from v-leds.com. I spent $50 so far no issues. Have also done some returns with these guys and have no problems with it. I had put and after market ballast kit in my avalanche and had the same problem when turning on my lights. Had one of the bulbs go out and bought a new HID kit from v-leds and so far they are awesome. When it comes to certain things dont go cheap, especially when the HID's are cheaper then a pep boys brand halogen bulb. Another thing you could try is put in your old bulbs and see if the problem continues, if so its going to be your ballast. Hope this helps.

Iv had my $20 ebay 6k bulbs for 4 years with ZERO issues, obviously with these cheap bulbs you can at times get a bad batch but then again at that price who cares!

But i think the issue might be with the install, best way is to pop your stock bulbs in and see if they work fine or not, if they are ok then its the AM bulbs else it could be the ignitor...

Put in your stock bulbs again, and if they turn on no problem then you just got a bad batch of bulb.
