Default Official List of Bad HID Bulbs/Kits + Brands

Hi everyone,

I just want to start a thread of a list of BAD HID brands and bulbs in an effort to help fellow members or new members make more sound decisions on HID bulbs and conversion kits (and also know what to avoid).

Please use the following format:

Brand:
Bulb Type:
Bulb Temp:
Problem:

I'm adding bulb temp because for some miraculous reason, different temp bulbs act differently.

I'll start with one.

Brand: Supervision HID
Bulb Type: D4S
Bulb Temp: 6000k
Problem: bulbs send out wrong error code and would randomly flicker and go out

Haha, you're going to find a LOT of brands on this list, because there's actually only a few places in China that these are produced for all the "big" labels.
