hey! got mine installed today. took less than an hour, but I didn't do the cleanest job (such as duct tape to hold the relay in place until I get some double-sided tape to hold it up ) they look awesome! Thanks Stevenson!

[phonex98]

My kit came with double sided tape.... Maybe you should have a more through look in yours ?

edit: nevermind... you said relay not ballast.

yeah, I used the double sided tape stuff for my ballasts, but I wish they included another piece for the relay for us people that don't want to drill holes. lol.

oh, I wanted to ask where you guys were mounting your ballasts? I mounted one of mine right by the horn thing on the passenger side, and the other I mounted to the side of the fuse and relay box.

For this issue.. instead of using bolts in the Engine bay. Simply cut a piece from the double sided sticky tape the size of the resistor/relay. There is more than enough sticky tape for the ballast that a 1"x1" piece wont even matter. That is what i did anyways.

SO I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH THEM FOR LIKE 3 DAYS NOW AND I ALREADY EXPERIENCED SOME PROBLEMS.. I'M HERE IN CALI, THE WEATHER RIGHT NOW IS HOT, I'VE YET TO DISABLE MY DRLs SO WHEN I DRIVE IN THE DAY my lights are on... well just the other day i noticed they werent on anymore! i popped the hood and the ballasts seemed to have overheated! does this happen usually??? also, one takes longer to warm up than the other, and one seems to be brighter while the other looks like one of those fake ass xenon bulbs. i guess u get what u pay for, my friend bought mcchullocs from a group buy for like $300! and he said that was cheap! imagine what JLM must be like compared to McChullocs (spelling??) NO comPARISON

anybody else experience this??? im kinda dissapointed, sad to say.

post some pics of where you place your ballast, it's part of the secury=ity features on the ballast to turn off itself when it's overheat just like an amp would do. and show send me pictures of the bulbs light up to see what you're talking about, if bulb were in contact with dust they won't light up properly ( it's in the instructions ) if it's a defect from the manufacturer I'll prolly get a bulb replacement for you.

Why did you put your HID's in the DRL/HIGH beams ?. Wouldnt it have made more sense to put them on your low beams, so that the HID's only run when you turn your low beams on ?

Why does you car have DRL's? I didnt think US Spec cars came with DRL's. I know the US Spec celi I just imported doesnt have DRL's. Where did you mount your ballasts? I would double check the wiring if I were you. Mine work fine, both light up evenly, and both are super bright. Are your headlights adjusted properly? If they arent then it could make the light look dim, and just blue.
