I have been running the oracle bulbs with no problems.

HAVE BEEN RUNNING ORACLE D4S (direct replacement) FOR ALMOST 6 MONTHS W/ NO PROBLEMS!!! agree with shank. mobileHID hear of no problems eitherr. oracle may be expensive but pay to play againn. i recommend getting a full hid kit bulbs/ballasts to prevent all problems, but if u get direct replacement d4s, just contact reguarding any problems or even set of harnesses by the company to prevent melting. my $.02

I've used XenonDepot HID kits in previous cars and friends with ZERO issues. I'd use them again without question.

I've had the Xenon Depot H11 6500k Xtreme HID conversion kit on my car for two months. It worked fine until couple of days ago the light on the passenger side turned off for a second when I went over a bump, then back on again. Then it just continue on.. off for a second, and back on, but it won't do that when my car is stopped it's either on or off it won't flash when the car is stopped. It only flashes when my car is moving. Till last night it just shut off (only the passenger side). I took it to the shop where I got them professionally installed, they said everything looked fine it could be the problem of the bulb. I've PM Steve from XD about it, but I want to know has anybody experience similar issue? or anybody knows what could be the problem that causes it?

Hi,

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing a problem.

I received both your email and PM and replied to both. If your kit is shutting off when the car is moving it sounds like a connection is the problem. As I mentioned in my email response to you, please check your ground, relay, and all connections.
