Yup.

I know on some systems, that line can be bypassed because the existing car plug is the counterpart to the plug on the ballast in order to decrease the excess amount of wires up there. But to avoid confusing you, the answer is yes.

I have the 55w 8000k (standard size ballast) in my lows and 55w 6000k fogs in my e34. I went w/ the 8000k because I heard the 55w washes out the color so I was trying to get the white/blue tint but I'm actually going to 6000k's in my lows because the 8000k's don't have enough light output and are "too blue" for me, but they aren't purple at all...

Great product though!!

i'm looking into getting a set of these too but i'm not sure which output to go with. i'm assuming 55w is gonna be brighter than 35w and i want a predominantly blue-ish hue but if you think they're not bright enough maybe i'll go down to a 55w 6000k.

also, what bulb type do i want? h1 is set as the default...

I would definitely go with 55w 6000k ones. They still have a blueish tint and will be bright. As for which bulbs, you just want the stock type.

55w 5000k

Trust me, 35w will leave you wanting more. It just wan't bright enough.
I have 55w 6000k and they have the SLIGHTEST waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles hair sized blue hue to them. So my friend, I reccomend you the 55w 5000k.

I also had the 35w 6000k, but it seriously left me wanting more.
To show you how much more, I only had it on my car for around 10min before I decided it wasn't enough.
(sold it 2 days later to some kid with a teggy for $70 lol.)

Good luck!

Thanks. Is 55W 5000k not too bright enough to be pulled over?

Cops can't pull you over if they're blinded by your headlights. It all works out

As long as you have projectors(which I'm sure you do) and make sure they aren't pointed higher then your high-beams(flick your high-beams with your lows on to check against a garage), then you're all good.
If your car is lowered, then even less to worry about.
You're welcome!

where did every1 mount their ballasts?

[ak-]

My driver side is behind my coolant overflow tank with the wires tucked under the tank itself.
Passenger side is mounted/double-taped to the inside wall adjacent to the low beam light housings.

Just to clarify, if using US Ellipsoids, I should get:
DDM HID Kit Slim Ballast (35W or 55W)
55 Watt, Bulb Type H1, 6000K


Correct?

Whats the difference in Bulb Types?

The US Ellipsoids use a 9006 bulb for the lows.

The only difference in bulbs is the mounting and wire connections.

The difference is that you're a friggin newb.

You need 9006 bulbs for the U.S. ellips, I would go for 55w and maybe a step down from 6k. I will find a thread for you with comparisons, you whore.
