Omega General Help / New HID Bulbs not right

« on: 08 February 2009, 09:50:47 »

As said my other post i have replaced my old HID bulbs which where Osrams just the same as the new 4300k but after having a good look last night they seem to fire up with a very nice white light but then seem to fade to what seems more yellow.

have checked all i could and seem ok can anyone think of any where i should look. Whenn being replace i checked to make sure the glass part of the bulb was not held.

Any tip on where to look as over the past week these HID bulbs have been a real pain. May just put the old ones back in and see if it makes any diff

Thank

Steve
