Default Bad Bulbs? Or something else?

Hey everyone, about a week ago I put 8000k hids in my '08 is 250. At first everything was running smoothly, but now I noticed that these bulbs keep going out. However the interesting this is that when I turn right, the left bulb goes out. When I turn left, the right bulb comes out. I asked the shop if they knew anything, but they said that the problem had to do with Lexus models, cus another one of their clients driving a GS has the exact same problem. So my question is whether something is wrong with my car or are the bulbs just plain crappy?

not the bulbs, not the car, i think its the issue with your projector and electric issue related.

when your car turns right, the passenger side projector will automatically move towards the right. or when your car turns left the driver side light will move towards the left.

this is known as the "auto swiveling lights" you'll notice this when you turn on your lights.

on that note, when you turn on your lights, does it flicker and or does any em' turns off?
