Whats up guys. I recently installed some 6000k HIDs in my car. I noticed that my driver side bulb flickers. At first I thought it was a bad bulb or ballast, so I went back to the shop and got a new one. But the new bulb flickers at well. Any explanations or solutions will be greatly Appreciated!

Switch sides with the bulbs to see if the problem is actually the bulb or the ballast.  If the problem stays on the drivers side after swapping bulbs, it's your ballast.  If the flickering changes to the passenger side, it's the bulb.

The problem can be the fillament inside the bulb, (mine was broken) so your best bet is probably to go back and buy another one. just in case, do not touch the bulb with your hands at all! they are very delicate and anything little touch could break the fillament.
