Looks awesome man, especially with the black bezel painted inside....I am going to order some 8000K soon as well different brand though!

Dutchie 02-28-2010 06:46 AM

Looks great! Will do mine soon too!

They don't give problems with auto lights on and off and such?

People have had problems with the auto lights causing only one ballast to light, some ran a separate relay harness from the battery, but if you use your e-brake... only take it off after you start the engine and thats the easiest way to remedy that problem, otherwise you need to splice wires at the bcm.

The only other prob, is the daytime running lights need to be deactivated (but I don't think you have them.)

My 2000 use to have this problem. It killed 2 sets of ballasts.
I ended up just getting a relay to hook it to the battery.

It depend on the kit not the car, some have a delay, some light instantly. On our cars if the e-brake is down the lights come on before you crank the engine, doesn't bother the halogens but while it cranks the voltage fluctuates which trips the saftey circuit in the ballast. shut off the car and it will reset.

The relay wiring harness is the best solution.

As far as I know, I do not have the DRL's. No lights come on during the day if I don't want them to. Only when it is getting darker (ALC).

where would i get the relay harness and how do i hook it to the battery i just ordered ddm 35w 10k reg and 35w 6k brights. how would i connect the relay to them and batter. POSITIVE or NEGATIVE on BATTERY???

Cliff8928 02-28-2010 11:59 PM

I know practically everyone would complain at the price... But this is a top quality harness I have first-hand experience with.. Doesn't hurt that they're like 2 miles away either.

sfi3400 03-01-2010 01:27 AM

so if im getting the ddm HIDS 10k 35w for regular lights and 6k 35w for brights do i need the relay harness. or will my ballast mess up?
