Hey Everyone,

I am fairly new to posting on these threads and recently purchased a 07' 250awd, I only purchased it 3 weeks ago and I had them take it in to replace the drivers side HID bulb becuase it was a far different color then the other. However before and after I had it replaced randomly I would notice only in park/idle the drivers side HID bulb would go out and I can just turn the lights on and off and its fine again... Anyone have any idea what it may be? I'm sure Ill bring it back to them again but having a answer would be nice as well. Thanks !!

see if it was under warranty

Check what the dealer saids about it. Could be ballast going out or maybe defective bulb?

it's the bulb dying, replace it

Swap the bulbs around. If problem follows then its the bulb. Car is too new for the ballast giving up. I usually see 99-03 Acura TL and CL ballast dying.
Also make sure its the right bulbs. Toyota uses D4S Mercury free hid bulbs and only toyota uses them. D2s and D2r are the most common bulb. Just make sure the bulbs replaced are not D2S

Also make sure the bulb is connected properly. The way the plug goes on the back is a bit tricky and can appear fully on when in fact it is not.

i had the same problem but i took it in for warranty and they simply replaced the bulbs. it worked fine after that. so i would recommend just changing out the bulbs for new ones.

One bulb changing color is usually a sign that the bulb is going bad. So is the bulb going out after it has already fired up (and turning it off then on should fire it up again). I literally just had this happen to me and replacing the bulb resolved it.

if it is not the bulbs then careful your ballasts might go out soon...

Im having the same problem.. my driver side flickers then goes off, then when i turn the low beams off and on again itll work fine then flickers and goes off.. Installed these garax bulbs a month ago.. Im hoping its the bulbs cuz itll be annoying if it were the ballast issue.. but ill install the OEM bulbs back in and hopefully its back to normal again..

Another happy GARAX customer here. I was having the same issues, switched to new GARAX 6000k bulbs ($90 shipped on eBay). Been good for a week so far. Good quality looking bulbs too.
