[der affe]

my main concern is are my balast connectors from my hella stuff along with my hella ballasts compadible with the FX-R projectors themselves.

is that stuff pretty universal?

well fx-r's take a d2s bulb type. what kind of bulbs does your hella kit use?

trooper, I would ditch the DDMs and get something OEM if I were you. I'm running Philips 81522+ bulbs (about 4000K and some extra lumens over 4300K), OEM bulbs will run cooler and last longer than DDM crap. Philips, Hella, Osram, etc.

I have E55s in mine and there are considerable gaps and aren't sealed at all and I really haven't had any issues with it.

Mine will fog up whenever you sneeze in their direction. After car washes, rain, etc. They still work fine but I'd prefer to keep the condensation out.

If you're referring to me, you are mistaken. I run mine as high as I can without blinding people. There is not a whole lot of a functional point in a retrofit if you do not.

yeah i think next week ill pick up these Philips 81522 someone has on HP for 35 shipped. id love to get the Osram super blues but dam 150 a pair. Yeah i know ddm is crap but the bulbs were 15bux and it took me 15mins to pick them up haha.

what do you think of me running the DDM raptor 55w ballast with some OEM bulbs?

Perhaps its just the angle of the video, or the slope of the ground etc. It make it look like they are pointed at the curb from 15' away. Your sig pic looks spot on though.

Sounds like its doable but it won't have any trace of color. It will look like a 250w halogen bulb.

[Blackout]

Why!

[CHIF8008]

Why!

because more light means better lit road-better lit road means you can actually see the road- actually being able to see the road allows you to drive your car properly and safety.

well fx-r's take a d2s bulb type. what kind of bulbs does your hella kit use?

They use ds2 bulbs. I have to go through the box and match them up in pairs and see what kelvin they are.
