One thing I noted was I could not find were it said they were digital ballasts.

Older Xentecs were non-digital ballasts. Not sure about these.

i wouldnt order for the seller HID4U

i found it impossible to get a hold of them, when one of my ballast crapped out on me.

why not go with DDM ?

a lot of members are running them (including myself), with plenty of pics in the apperance section

they re around the same price ,with a lifetime warranty

35W is plenty bright.

the harness not needed but its nice to have. my last kit i had i didnt buy the wiring harness , just got the lo-beams. the lights would flicker when you unlocked the doors from the remote. untill you disable the auto- perimiter feature

if you do order from DDM

, i would just get the Hi/lo bulbs . for an $25 you not only get high beams but they give you a wiring harness, which is worth $25 alone

What I read shows the hi/lo as +$85 more. Do I need the realy harness with modules? Just the relay harness?

Does anyone know what kind of bulbs I would need for the fog lights? I have an '06 XLT, would it still be H10?
