After a bad experience with less expensive unit...I have decided to spend more money and get something more reliable from reviews I have gotten from other users.

I went all the way out and purchased their latest and newest product....which is CANBUS and supposedly it will eliminate the error without the need to buy a separate canceller kit...

RSX HID Conversion Kit

Here's some stuff from their site...

RSX Digital Ballast Technology


Welcome to the latest generation HID ballast technology. This is not your run of the mill ballast.

These are only some of the technologies packed into this exclusive ballast from HID Canada.

Now I just need to order some for the fogs but hesitating to put 55w in the fogs....

Here are some pictures of their product you will also notice the control unit is full waterproof just as the ballasts.

 

that "controller" is nothing more than a relay.

 

I guess Im not too familiar with these things...but when I opened another brand their was a board and chips in it and 8 pin plug so i dont really know if its just a relay but i did hear some clicking when it was melting LOL...!!!

Also if you look at Diagram it says Controller so im sure its more then just a relay in there.

 

If your talking about the DDM relay harness then you got a messed up one. My harness looks exactly like that one.

 

That kit is EXACTLY the same as my ddm tuning raptor kit. The ballast is the only thing different just because it has different words on it. The bulbs, relay, and all the wires are the same to.

 

Nice to know...lol....but its the ballast that plays a big role...post some pics of kit

 

looks the same as the retro solutions kits as well

 

Reason for the black tape around the wire leading into the left ballast (headlight) was because I soldered in some extra wire to reach all the way up to the top then across then down to the ballast.

I was just saying because I don't see any problems with mine over yours. I don't know the price of yours but mine for fogs and Headlights with a relay was 107 total including shipping just to compare the two. I mounted my ballasts inside my engine compartment where they are not exposed to the elements. There may be some water get to them but never enough to damage them. I would do them like that. Brent

 

Okay...now that I see the pictures the control units are different from DDM and HIDCanda. Mine is completly sealed and yours on the other hand is not I have the exact same one that started melting from DDM I will even post you some pictures of the melting one and the new one. The DDM control units are not sealed properly and theirs not seal even when u open it up...so I would suggest you do 2 things...put it in a dry place that no water will reach it...or seal it with some silicone on each side... ....pictures coming

 

I even had opened it up and inside the board is black from the short...I would suggest whoever has a DDM unit and water can get to it ...or silicone each side that the unit opens up or put it in a place away from water.

 

Mine are the DDM Raptors. I got them because they were cheaper. I guess there better too!

 

Are yours working good I have been thinking about ordering a set

 

New kit looks great--glad you're happy with it.



FYI you just got a bad kit. I've hosed my engine down numerous times and have had absolutely no problems. As far as the new kit being more reliable....that's subjective. Mine have worked flawlessly from day 1.

 

I was thinking about mentioning you Mblouir. I remembered how your fog ballasts were mounted down behind the bumper and you never had any problems. And to Ricky Bobby FX4 I love mine. They have always worked flawlessly since I got them around two months ago and I would definately get the raptors again. Nothing against the slims just the raptors are cheaper and if you mount them how I did it doesn't matter how big they are.
