HID D2S swapped with Morimoto 6000K D2S

Hello All,

I never liked the yellowish color of the stock HIDs. SO, I went and bought 6000K D2S HIDs from the retrofit source. I received the bulbs and the quality looks very good. However, I installed them and they are not working properly. When I turn on the car they do not turn on. In order for me to get them on I have to turn them on and off many times. Basically they do turn on but like for 2 seconds and then turn off till I press the switch many times and get them on.
I hear a little noise when they turn on and off, it looks like a switch or something close to that. Please help me. Did I blew any fuse ? Do I need a relay ? Do I need to put a higher fuse ?

Thanks in advance

I swapped mine out and they turn on just as fast as the stock bulbs did, did you get them back in correct, having to flip the switch several times to get them to turn on seems weird, being new they might take a second or 2 to turn on and warm up

Make sure the sockets are on the bulbs well.

Morimoto HID's ? Is that what they are calling them now? Darn they are getting clever. I'm surprised they didn't call it Hiroshima HID, or Teriyaki 6000k
