What kind of bulbs did you buy? Is it purple right when you turn it on, or after it warms up?

Callaway

means your bulb is dying.

Gyoza

Means that they were made in China. OEM FTW.

You may just need to replace it. What brand of bulb is it. McCulloch's, Philips, or just a non-brand? Were they expensive or cheap-ish?

GeeeeOhhhh

That bulb is indeed dying. Do a google search on dying HID bulbs....typically they will give off a pinkish/purple hue to TELL you that it has reached the end of it's service life. Check out the HID bulbs from Andy over at HPA....5 year warranty on them. Can't beat that with a stick. I'm running 5000K bulbs from him because he's a reputable vendor and helps all of his customers well.....now Andy, since I've plugged your business....how about shipping me some Project Mu's for half price?

Its called JDM, i bought off on ebay, that seller told me it was made in Japan, thats why i bought it, it starts dying already not even in a year, i bought it for $60 dollars, how much is a set of good one should cost??

The seller did not even reply my e-mail yet, and i dont think it has warranty on my bulbs, i just contacted with a body shop, they said they can do it for $170 dollars (120 bulbs+50 labors), 3 years warranty. Is this a good deal?

PS: i still have to wait for 3 days to get replaced, i have to drive on the road with one white light and one purple light, WTF!!!

Ok, Andy's bulbs from HPAutoworks are $90 shipped. The installation is VERY easy. If you can jack a car up and take off a wheel, it is SIMPLE. The first time, I didn't know what I was doing and took my time and it took 1-2 hours. Now, I can change both bulbs in under 30 mins. It is NOT worth $170 when you can pay a little under half. Just my opinion. Check out this vendor thread: https://www.myg37.com/forums/support...-warranty.html

Hope this helps....seriously, it's an EASY install.

Thank you, it is very helpful, but i am kind in a hurry to get it done rite now, so i think i am gonna do it on Monday, cuz it is easy to replace if anything goes wrong on the bulb.
