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).

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.
