For some reason Phillips and oem bulbs work perfect

Yea that's what I read I will probably either get something high end or just stay stock for now and just paint my headlights or something.
off topic sorry I didn't make your meet last time been working like crazy.

I bought a cheap pair on Ebay in fall...I was having the same problem you were...wasn't going on, or sometimes only one side goes on etc.

I went to 6000K and I must say much brighter than my stock, but I think its also because my housing is painted, so I lost some brightness.

Anyways, probably going to buy a pair from JWM just incase as these ones I have seem unstable and once its out of storage I just want to drive it worry free lol

get what you pay for i guess lol
And yes I learned it the hard way but you are correct sir you get what you pay for. If I find something else I will let you guys know.
