Re: ddm ballast sucks !

35 watts not using any relay harness just plug & play. i had some other cheap-o-brand kit that worked fine & sold them to get these. the have warranty but then i gotta pay shipping back & forth, i might as well just buy a regular big ballast from ebay. im thinking its the slim ballast has a problem that outside ignitor is trouble look at how drowzee's melted !
i've been lazy and not even installed my fogs kit just running nokya h11's. wonder if those r gonna burn out too now

Re: ddm ballast sucks !

WTF? This is the first I've heard of the DDM ballasts that has been negative. I've had mine in for several months. Doesn't add up to me...you got the relay harness?

i got a harness on my fogs, but i've never used a harness on my low beams before and first time i keep having this problem. they flicker and then thats it, bulbs work fine. isnt the harness for 55w kits though ?

Re: ddm ballast sucks !

a harness is for any aftermarket hid kits they keep your equipment safe and stock wiring safe because of the load they use when they power up. so instead of blowing a ballast or main relay or even combination switch you blow a simple $3 relay

Re: ddm ballast sucks !

i have the cheap ones from ddm tuning, the 40 dollar set i believe. They only have a year warranty i believe, i didn't notice until it was to late that the 60 dollar ones are lifetime. My 40 dollar ones are working great though, i have had them for 3 or 4 months now(crossing fingers now)
