What kind of bulbs are you guys running when you change to 6000k?
I've tried a few different sets of bulbs off eBay and they all seem to work fine, but occasionally flicker at night.
Its not the ballasts or anything, because the stock bulbs work fine its only when the 6000k ones are in.
Any ideas? Or better bulbs to run that won't do this? I haven't had any problems with the bulbs on my C32 or E55, but this is a 2005 C55 with OEM xenon that's having this issue.

The wattage of the bulb might be higher thus causing the ballast to over heat. I would start by checking the watts on the 6000k bulbs vs the stock.
