Alright, I did not want to write a review yet untill the issue comes to the final state and conclusion. As of now, The 3000K gold kelvin that I requested seems to be 4300K instead. I was told to let it burn in, but after an hours of burning in it still seemed to be 4300K which is stock color hue, not gold. One side seats perfectly in it housing the other side refuses to fully seat. There are three locking points on the bulb that allows the bulb to lock in posistion. Only 2 of the tree locking tabs seat. This is the only way it will seat. I know the the housing for the bulb is not defective as the OEM bulb will fully seat/unseat perfectly fine and smoothly, as it should.

With my car in idle, I get slight fliclkering. Once in motion, the flickering turns to strobing, then the side with the partially seated bulb turns off. I do not know if the partially seated bulb is causing the flickering, but I dont see why this would cause the flicker to occur.

I'm led to believe that the flicker is caused by one of the two:

A) Defective Ballast
Defective Bulb

To continue. Now, I think that I may have received two different bulbs as one was marked with a manufacture label and the other was not marked at all. i beleive that the one that was not marked, was the one that was defective.

Energia, I know that this was not your intention to send me a faulty product, but I do hope we can get this resolved as soon as possible. You did reply to my PM asking me if the flickering is in idle or in motion, and you did mention that if it was in motion then it was a faulty ballast. Also, you said that if it was the ballast then you will send me a different one to try to resolve this problem that Im having. I do appreciate that gesture, but I think if you do replace this kit for me then I would rather get a kit that has been tested before you send it to me.

Again, I applogize for your troubles and I hope this can be resolved as quickly as possible so that I can give your product a good review.


Thanks.

Okay, so before fully uninstalling my HID's I compared both bulbs to one another. I was trying to see what allowed one bulb to seat and the other from seating fully. I realized that one of the gaskets around the HID bulbs was red and larger then the other HID bulb that seated correctly. The one that seated correctly was a yellow gasket, matching my OEM bulbs gasket exactly by color and size. I then tried to install the HID bulb that seated correctly into the other sides housing where I was having fitment issues. The HID bulb fit perfectly fine. This made me realize that for sure there was no issue with the housing, but the issue was with the bulb with the larger red gasket. I then proceeded to swap out the large red gasket with one of my OEM bulbs gasket and voila! It seated as it should. After I got both HID bulbs to fully seat, the flickering ceased and the true color revealed itself to be what I wanted, TRUE 3000K Super Gold color.

I am extremely satisfied with my 3000K SuperNova HID kit! It looks amazing. Super bright and very crisp color as I wished.

PROPS to energia for the excellent customer service and his low cost HID kits!!!

Now for the pics...

Heres the two gaskets. One yellow and the other that gave me fitment issue was red. You can clearly see the size difference.
