By flickering I mean, sometimes you turn off the lights, and when you turn them back on immediately, bulbs don't light up... Sometimes they needed to be switched off and on several times before they lit up again...
I ran into an issue like this with a different brand of bulbs and it ended up melting the harness on the right headlight.. Had to purchase a new harness..
People were recommending a japanese brand called RIGG (hard to get) and also Philips Ultinon bulbs (expensive)..
Appreciate the input...

Hey pty...I had a similar problem, however I didn't melt the harness. I don't think its a problem with the bulb, rather for me it was properly securing the bulb in slot, and making sure the pins were aligned and tight. Also, the main thing is to make sure the bulb pad is making proper contact with the bulb end. This ensures that there is no flickering or loose connection. I know when I first installed some bulbs, my bulb case was not properly secured around the bulb, and when I turned it on, it flickered and turned off, it took a couple tries to get it to work. So I went back in, and I unhooked the bulb pad, took out the bulb, then carefully put it back in, secured it and made sure the bulb pad was back on tight (you should feel some resistance when you turn it). It solved my problem.
