I didn't see it mentioned, but maybe you bought 55W bulbs? OEM spec is 35W.
If you bought 55W bulbs, the ballast isn't sending enough juice to properly power the bulb, so it won't work properly. I bought Ostram Xenarc 66440 CBI bulbs (which are 35W, but 5000K) and they work great. Never had an issue.

6000k is not terrible, but not optimal. if you want it for cosmetics that's fine, but functionality suffers. This is why OEM is always in the 4300K range. |

I prefer 5000k, it's a nice balance between vision and appearance. It's pretty much pure white usually, but it's also not very common.

hey I am having the exact same issue! It's just been really cold and constant snowing here in New York so I haven't had the opportunity to fix this, but my passenger side headlight goes out after a few minutes driving. The drivers side bulb is fine. I too love the look of the 6000k hids and love that they match my fogs. Should I have diode dynamics send me a replacement bulb?

Seems like more and more of these issues are coming up with their bulbs.

You're right Diode Dynamics doesn't sell the 55 watt crap.

The OEM would have a higher output because typically the more you veer away (higher or lower) from 4300-4500k output, the less output you have. You sacrifice colour for output.

OEM isn't that pleasing, imho. I like 5500k tbh.
