oh and when the bulb is lock in place, isn't the rod suppose to be pointing downward instead of at an angle. It's downward in my corolla (different kit), and on the passenger side housing but not on the driver side.
Make sure you are putting them in the low beam slot. Which would be the one closest to the fender on each side. Also, if they are in the correct slot. When you push in to twist, they should be locked in vertical.

So just your drivers side? Are you pushing in all the way when you turn? I feel like there is something being slightly over looked here.

I put the stock bulb back in. It still does the same thing with the stock bulb. So I'm thinking it could be a manufactures defect with the housing.

but over all, these are by far the best color, and output that I've seen. Even better than the klight kit over at 9thgencorolla.

hey operatic, so I got right bulbs (6000k h11) on friday and I noticed those bulbs look definately yellower than my 9006 6k bulbs which I also got from u. I compared both and it doesn't even look white, it looks almost same as stock halogen. I was thinking if that is because those bulbs and my ballasts are not working well together?? I bought my 9006 hid kit back in january and I don't know if u r selling different brand bulbs right now...

yeah I have 08 projectors but I've seen some 08 projectors with 6000k hids and they look pretty white and even have bluish color... anyway I changed one bulb to my 9006 bulb and compared two side by side, and they were not the same color. h11 bulb looked like 4300k or something. It doesn't have white or blue hint in it, they are same as stock halogens....The thing is I really want 6000k bulbs. How could we solve this problem operatic?

installed my kit today finally.
just want to say as a complete HID noob, the kit was decently ok to figure out how to wire up. i think it would really help with some brief instructions or a wiring diagram of how the pieces fit together just for peace of mind. i was left wondering what some of the doodads did, but since they didnt plug into anything i just assumed they were there for wire connections and power converting.

the hard part was figuring out how to mount the ballasts with the zip ties. keeping those suckers on lockdown takes some effort.

overall, the output looks great, and no complaints really so far. just wish it had some rough instructions/diagram.

thanks !

I want HIDs, but are they hotter than the OEM bulbs?

I also don't want to check out the full 69 pages of this thread to find out if the bi-xenon can switch like the OEM ones. Do they work like OEM?

Thanks!

They are $60 shipped for a pair of bulbs that are not custom colors.

HIDs do not run hotter than OEM bulbs. Also, it looks like you drive a Scion tC or a Toyota Corrolla, either or - they both have headlamps where the high and low beam are on sepereate bulbs. So you would not need a bi-xenon kit but a single xenon kit.
