That's what you get when you dont use a complete set and try to fab up your own. Go DDM, do it right. I had my first set on the car for like 2 years with no issues (then got into an accident). Got another kit....bulb shit the bed after a year. Then i just threw the kit out and switched back to stock. I like the stock better now....no more waiting for the bulbs to warm back up after i switch from my hi's to low. I HATED that...if im on a back road and someones coming the other way...i switch to low and can barely see anything for like 5 seconds. Not a big deal but it got on my nerves  Oh yea, and i forgot to mention the jack wagons sent me a 6k and 8k bulb when i ordered 6k.....so that pissed me off too. I don't like when lights don't match. lol

ddm is the way to go. I got the harness for mine a while after the initial purchases and have found they are also a worth investment. cant beat the prices either.

Guys in Canada need to talk to me about HID's before you buy. I can get a dam good deal on HID's. Most of the mechanics have bought them from us here. RTX is the manufacturer we get them from

wow im so not winning lately. I noticed tonight with the radio and sub going, the sub will quiet right down when the hids warm out. Wth? It might be due to a faulty ground connection at the battery after installing the hids. Ill have to add a snowplow battery post adapter from work like i did the positive side for the subw wire.

Really I have 2 subs and 2amps in my car I have never had a problem with the subs quiet down. But I have nothing hooked up to the battery except the power wire and aftermarket foglight power. But I also Dido the bog three upgrade. I have the dd tuning slim ballast kit.

I MAY put HID's on my Delta when I swap the housings over to "sealded beam" replacement headlights, but I have a dryer place and more room to mount everything, plus I rarely drive that car in the rain
