Yes all the complaints you will see recently, had to do with the SS ballasts not likening the cold. The new updated DSP ballast are supposed to be good up to -40. You can wait for trs to get back to you but trust me (or ignore me ) you'll get the same response from them

Lol I knew you had my back!

You really think the h1 is that much different then the d2s mini? They both will require minor cutting for the screw to sit properly. I feel the d2s will be that much better though. Plus you can get a square lens!

Assuming you are getting the Gatling gun shroud. I believe 70mm is recommended

Just got the new "LC" ballasts and wouldn't ya know it... My new Nightbreaker bulbs don't fire with them.

They constantly flicker and one requires 4-5 attempts to actually light up...

Not very effing happy with that since they're supposed to be better and more reliable, yet... Arent

Sorry maybe I missed some posts or another thread but aren't Nightbreaker bulbs halogen? I thought you ran HIDs? Did I miss something?

No. They're D2S night breakers. The brightest bulb on the market.

Replaced the SVS
