I don't have any flickering at all. The initial install was always with the error eliminator so I don't know how it would be without it

Rushmode

I have no flickering at all either. Mine came with the error eliminator as well

It should be noted that the metal clip that holds the bulbs has to be cut to fit over the new bulbs. The DDM kit's wiring is simply to large to fit through the clips opening. Because this changes the rigidity of the clip it can be super glued to the plastic base of the new bulb. This in turn will make it much easier to reinstall the bulb.

kkd79

No need to cut anything, it's a perfect fit for me and I have DDM

Depending on what type of HID kit you have, you will need to manipulate the wiring harness to fit through the opening of the stock metal clip and the dust cap


If you can get the wires through the opening of the stock metal clip, the reinstall is the same as the factory setup no need to modify anything

mklimis

Please share then how you got the clip through the plastic base of the bulb and/or other end of the wires with the plastic clips. Be as specific as you can.

kkd79

One wire at a time, it takes some forceful manipulation of each wire connector tip to go through the clip opening. I didn't bend, scratch, cut, or break anything.

kkd79, on the DDM website, did you order the HID harness, error eliminator, adapter cable, and mounting brackets? Or did you just order the bulb for $30?

kkd79

Kit + error elim

AllEyesOnMe

So kit is just bulb and ballast right? Just wanna make sure cause kit can mean harness, bracket, etc. Thanks again

kkd79

no harness, no harness, no etc.

mklimis

You can't slide it over the bulb because of the base 1. The wire ends in 2 barely just barely might fit. Wire end 3 is almost the size of the metal retaining clip itself. So I still can't figure how you would have fed the wires through. Am I missing something here?

kkd79

Yea, a brain

Just kidding, although the wire connectors are big, they will go through if you give it a little force, nothing will break or bend

WARNING OVERSIZED PICTURES


I know I am functionally illiterate but here is the end [#3 from previous pic]. So once again how did you get that through the opening in the retainer clip? Tell us Houdini

kkd79

The connector in your picture is too big and of course can NOT go through the metal clip, the wires at the other end of that connector will go through just fine. Pull the wires out of the rubber grommet and thread back through after.

mklimis

Haha finally

I apologize for my poor communication skill

i just received my kit..and look forward to the install this long weekend...

does the ballast get warm?..look like there is enough space inside the housing to put everything inside the headlight assembly. without having the ballast dangling from the
lamp cover.
i was thinking of zip tieing foam around the ballast to deaden any vibrations.. putting everything inside for a cleaner look.

let me know if the ballast does get warm...thanks.

did my install this past weekend, and i love it. when i ordered from DDM Tuning, i didnt know whether to get 5000k or 6000k, so I got both. I put in the 6000k for now, then i'll switch out and use the 5000k then see which one i like better.

thanks kkd79 for this thread, helped SO much.

Please aim your headlights lower when installing HID Kits as the top part of the light cut-off does blind other drivers. I lowered my beams to lowest setting. You still get a lot of visibility but most important is that you don't blind other drivers. The glare from the HIDs in non projector housing are pretty bad.

I am only stating this as I was following a friend after I first did my HID install and he complained about the glare. After aiming the lights to lowest setting, we went on a road trip and I followed him, he stated it looks much better and was not blinding him :-)
