[quote=BigBoss;3996441]Inline fuse?

it's best to have an in-line fuse wired up with ur HID system. This way you will minimize any unwanted affects to ur electrical system. If u research the w210 forums about HIDs u may find that someone had an accidental fire. It was unsaid whter or not he had an in-line fuse but it may have been the reason. Who knows... better safe than sorry. Check the Depo retro link i sent ya. Good luck. I for one am enjoying my ddm setup.

Well I thought the kit I ordered had everything in it. This is the kit I bought. http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p...=102&parent=85

It looks like it has inline fuses doesn't it?

that is the same kit i have. but i had added an in-line fuse between the input connection from headlight housing(depo) and the HID ballast. it's very easy if you buy a fuse splice from a local auto parts store or use two female crimp connectors to slide onto each side of the fuse.
