Are you running the wiring harness?

When I didnt have the wiring harness, my left blinker would stay solid and I would hear buzzing. Put the wiring harness in, everything was fine.

DDM sells a separate harness if the stock wiring can't handle the HIDs.

Basically you take the positive and hook it up to a positive, usually the post on the side opposite the battery. After that you hook the ground anywhere on the chassis. Then you plug the two inputs to the stock wiring and the two outputs to the ballasts.

Yes. The "in" activates the relay and the "out" draws the power directly from the battery instead of the stock wiring.

When I was in there yesterday they were telling the guy he could need a harness, I think he said 12.50 or something close to that. I'll check the DDM site.


Edit: it's 15.00

Hey guys any of you that maybe looking to get this harness, I got it at my local radioshack.
Just figure I let you know instead of waiting/paying for shipping from ddm.

There's lots of places to tuck in the ballasts:

foglight HID ballasts


lowbeam HID ballasts



And even though they're not as bright as the 5K HIDs, the 10K HIDs are way brighter than the stockers:





I'm not using the relay harness, and after 3 years, have had zero issues. Typicall they're needed on forgeign cars, or Dodges, Chryslers, and Jeeps. I also went with the 35W kits because of the heat issue. Although I did replace my stock foglight assemblies with a set of Hella Micro DE's because the stockers were crappy.

i was waiting for this lol. I took the picture in the middle of changing out my connector. I had it all heatwrapped together, but I found a matching all-weather connector but wanted to make sure it worked before I put the leads in.

Also those aren't for my fogs, it's the bixenon solenoid that taps into the highbeams.

thanks for keeping an eye out though!
