Agree. Unless I get a new car factory equipped with HIDs, i'm not gonna bother to touch my Halogens.

I've replaced one set of ballasts in the last 4-5 years. You guys must be biting the wiring or something, idk

Ive been running our test ballasts for almost a year now without a single issue. These are our new Canbus kits we sell.

Strap them down under headlight bracket. NO TAPE that will retain moisture.

I appreciate it. I ended up just trashing most the kit. It was a cheap ebay one and pretty sure the relay was screwed up, causing most the issues. Heck, the relay positive part didn't even fit over the battery post and we had to change that out too. Was just a pain.

Ya. When we first installed it, the brights would be stuck on. So we switched the wires and everything just kinda went to hell after that. I was able to have brights/lows but they were revered.

If I used the morimoto harness, would it just be plug and play then? I do miss my high beams out here, but I really don't want to deal with messing with wiring anymore.

I have the new Canbus kits and relay harness from mkurley, headlights and fogs.

Fogs installed and work great, zero issues, absolutely love them. Had one bulb giving issues in headlights, would flicker on for like 1/10 second then not come back on. Tried the bulb on 4 ballasts and did the same thing on each. Has to be a bulb issue though.

mkurley has been good to work with thus far. prompt responses and has my defective bulb for testing now, just waiting on the outcome. Im just looking forward to my headlights looking as great as my fogs. I would deff recommend they're Canbus kit
