Replaced new headlights bulbs, buzzing/zapper sound

Just replaced my lowbeams. The driver side comes on fine, but the passenger side makes a buzzing, bug zapper kind of noise turns on for a second and then shuts off. Anyone know what the problem is?

The bulbs are Garax 6K.

I have Garax and they buzz too. I think this is normal... not sure about the shutting off part though. I had some faulty bulbs that would shut off every now and then. Have you tried changing the bulbs?

Make sure the connection is properly secured and attached. The sound you describe sounds like what happens when you leave an HID bulb disconnected from the ballast and provide power to the ballast.
