A few people have stated that their bulbs will light up, but then shut off after a few seconds or they have a constant flicker. Something about our OEM ballasts not liking aftermarket bulbs? And Morimoto was one of the brands mentioned. Granted these are older threads, but I wanted to get some input on this?
Unlike the other post the problem has not been fixed.

I have a 2014 with only 10k miles on it

First i tried ijdmtoy bulbs. Then morimoto bulbs from TRS... Had thr same problem with both, one light wouldnt come on for a while or both unless u turned the switch on and off a few times

The problem was the ballast connector where the light plugs in, the shop said the two little metal pieces that touch the light needed to be bent inwards...

Instead i opted to order phillips crystal vision bulbs at $250 a set... Never had a flicker or problem since.

But ur choice
