I noticed most Hid brands, wether it's Ebay, DDM, etc. seem a little loose when twisted in the housing. It gives off a flickering look when going over potholes or bumps in the road.
It got so bad with my DDM's that atleast once a week I would find myself pulling over on the side of the road/highway and putting the bulb back in the headlight because it had fallen out of the housing.
Last night I was fiddeling around in the garage trying to remedy this problem.
First I thought maybe the 3 screws are loose where the bulb twists in. But they weren't.
Then I saw my box of my old Hids. I opened it up, took the bulbs out. Took off the o-rings around each bulb and put the o-rings on the new bulbs. Now the new bulbs had two o-rings on each. I then put the bulbs back in the headlights. With the second o-ring it creates a little resistance while pushing the bulb in the socket. Making the bulbs nice a tight in the headlight.
If you guys can't picture what I'm describing I'll try to draw up something showing where to put the second o-ring.
