I ordered the cheap ddm kit off ebay for 24 bucks. Should have it in a few days. Ordered the 9006 kit since it was cheaper and i didnt need the bulbs anyway since i already ordered new ones a few weeks ago. These cheap Ballasts i have now one flickers, so i aslo tried to put a 20watt fuse instead of a 15 watt fuse in my foglight but it still flickered so i knew the ballast was ****, then i tried a spare ballast i had and it didnt match, one seemed more blue instead of the 5k white, so i figured out thats because that one is DC volts instead of AC volts like the ones on the car now, and they were all 35 watt 12v ballasts, but one was brighter than the other. so i ordered the ddm AC ballasts instead of DC. So hopefully my problem will be solved.

Forgot to update. Got the black ddm balasts, now they work fine and dont flicker, and they seem to match the headlights pretty well. been about 3 weeks so far, plugged right up, backwards of course, but didnt need a relay harness
