DDM HID Install Question
DDM HID Install Question Yes you guys got me to get the HID's especially since finding 'brighter' headlights is next to impossible for these.
Anyway, I got everything in but I was wondering if the fact that those locking covers (that seal the headlight bulb area) are supposed to be no longer used? Obviously with wires hanging out of there its not gonna be able to be put on.
Also I am going to mounth the ballasts(two per side) right on top of the frame support thing that goes from side to side. Will this be ok as far as being protected from the weather?
Thanks to whomever may answer!

I mounted my ballasts to the radiator support. I wouldn't mount them to the lateral braces.
I already mounted them on the lateral support. 
So drill a hole just big enough for the plug wiring to fit through yes? Sounds good.
Also all of the excess wiring I just stuffed behind the passenger headlight. Does any of it get hot?
I would imagine by looking at all of the hardware that it is pretty weather proof.
Thanks!

Ok I drilled holes through those plastic circle locking seal things and it worked beautifully.
I have to go check now though I honestly cant remember if I put the low beam bulbs and high beam bulbs in the right places...I am sure I did but now I have to check and re-aim the lights.
Thanks all!

I just got a few pair's to, one for my Lows, and one for my Fogs. I actually switched the wiring so when my DRL's are on, my fogs are on instead, and then I can just push my fog button to turn the lights on, weird, but I like it. These lights are awesome, lol, couldn't have asked for better.

Verdad Gallardo LOL I did get high beams too. I am gonna switch back though to the halogens.
I will keep the stuff though for spare parts.
Are the low and high beam bulbs the same? There is no identifying markers on them so would I be able to swap them to the lows if something happens?

Yeah I noticed what a pain the high beams are with HIDs immediately after dark. This was before I had known anything. I lost one now I lost the other so I will obviously be putting the halogens back in. I should have done it last night but I didn't. Also looks like the ballast that controls the hi beam that was working slid down it's mounting spot, mustn't been cooking the adhesive, uh oh. Hey live and learn right?
Anyway, I think I am gonna do like the other guy did and switch the plugs around and have the fogs be my DRLs since I always run them during he day, those are halogens still. I will just have HID low beams like I should. My Philips H9s are very bright anyway.
I had another question but forgot now. Very busy day and posting from iPhone.
Thanks guys

Ok I have a problem, now one of the high beams works but I lost the low beam on that side. I will take it all out tomorrow and redo it. Can I get pics and info on how u guys did it so perfect?
