The difference between digital ballast and normal ballast:
Without EMS Problems
A built-in dual filter circuit and EMI shielding wires effectively control the interference in source that minimize or even eliminate it without any accessories. Till now the feed back from our oversea customers is that our Digital ballast can solve the EMI problem for VW PASSAT, OPEL, MERCEDES BENZ, BMW, AUDI, COOL PAD and HYUNDAI.
Less Malfunction Rate and 2 Years Warranty
The normal ballasts start-up by hardware, such as capacitance, MOS tube... It damages the components inside the ballasts because the high voltage 23 KV. As to digital start-up, the voltage is controlled by program in CPU. It reduces the malfunction rate to less than 1% and we offer 2 years warranty. Most HID unit lasts for 4-5 years
Protection for Car Components to Assure Driving Security
The same as point 2, the program in CPU makes the electric current less that the SCP ballasts. It will not damage the components of your car.
Prolong the Serviceable Life of Bulbs
The wide output voltage of our ballast is from 60v-160v. Normally the lamps voltage raise from 82+-17V to 120-140 voltage after one year use. Some ballast's output voltage is only 140v so it's hard to ignite the lamps after 1 year. But Our ballast can ignite the lamps which used 3-5 years.

The only thing new about this is that they include an HID KIT, other than that these were the first projectors out for our cars.

Hey Will, yes that will make it easier for people like me who would rather have the unit all in one plug and play so we can plug and play. Both that one and ebat Item number: 170326305316, look pretty good although looks can be deceiving, the latter one claims the projectors to be German Made for what that's worth, could be sales hype after reading these forms although I don't like the fact that they are saying Depo when Depo don't have any braggin rights, look good but all that glitters is not gold.

Peace!

I agree, but so was bright whites and blues once upon a time. I don't think I would even do blues on my rides, I think they look good, but not for me, to each their own.
