I recently bought Morimoto D2S XB35 6000K bulbs and I installed it yesterday. When I tested the bulbs it worked perfectly fine and then today at night, I turned on my lights and only the passenger side turns on while the driver side turns on for like 1 seconds and turns back off. How do I fix this problem?

The Z just doesn't like aftermarket bulbs. Ive had this happen to me a couple times. A vendor on here, DDM I think, sells bulbs that happen to work well on our cars.

Alright thank you, I guess I will just change back to OEM bulbs and return the aftermarket ones.

My question to you guys is are you using oem ballast or aftermarket ballast come with the HID bulbs.

OEM, don't know of anyone who has used an aftermarket ballast successfully with the Z. (it may have been done but it isn't common)

Also OEM is only 35w, not 55w

But maybe that's why. OEM ballast is not designed for 6000k. 6000k emits lot more energy than the oem 4300k.

When I bought my 6k HID kit for my g35 coupe, I bought the whole kit including the aftermarket ballast(it's also 35w) and I didn't have a single issue for 2 years till I sold my car.

Do you guys had Halo or demon eyes wired up somewhere as well? Although I think it shouldn't matter, but I'd just ask.
