Hi EPIKsung,

I would suggest that you swap the HID bulbs left and right to see if you can replicate the same problem. It may be a possible problem with either the bulb or ballast.

It is also useful to check the connectors to make sure everything is tight. The buzzing and shutoff of the HIDs sounds like something is defective, either the ballasts or bulbs. The HID may fire up initially and die down due to failure of the ballasts or bulbs (a possibility).

For the FR-S, it does not require a relay harness because the H11 factory power should provide full 12V to fire up the HIDs, yet I have a 35w in my FR-S so I cannot speak for the feasibility of a 55w HID kit. The purpose of the relay harness is to obtain full 12V power from the car's battery to power the headlights, but is really unnecessary given our experience in installing HIDs for low beam headlights.

Hope you can get it resolved soon. Definitely check in with the seller and have them advise you about the situation you are having.

Best of luck =)

i bought 2 pairs of the 35W 5k hid raptor kit from ddmtuning.com i have purchased from their in the past for my altima coupe fogs 3k (awesome yellow color) and also hi/lo beams for my nissan sentra. the hid kit was only $30 plus shipping and yes it came from China lol

i definitely recommend the 5k hid color from ddmtuning for any USA FR-S's as it looks like a stock factory HID look

Dang that cheap!!! I'll be interested to hear if they last. So many horror stories in the past of melted harnesses from cheap kits, but one can assume technology has gotten better/cheaper I guess!

so you currently have them installed in your fr-s? I just wanna make sure since the other cheap 55w kit didnt work on my fr-s

My GT86 emblem and HID kit has arrived and it took me about more than 1 hr to install the HID kit. This kit has beautiful slim ballasts with nice quality metal design. These are 35watt & 6000k bulbs cost around $90 shipped. The stock light projector and the 6000k pure white color light produce good white light beam. To me, it look way better than any stock car w/ 4300k hid bulbs. I'm glad I picked the 6000k over the 5000k & 4300k bulbs. The cutoff level is low at about the car hood.
