Curious on how long you have been running the hid's without a harness? My previous vehicles all required a harness or else I would only get one light come on.

Those 35W hid's from DDM look like they have a minimal amount of glare so it would not blind oncoming traffic. Normally I am against HID's in a reflector housing but these seem fine. Correct me if I am wrong.

I have to agree. I had HID's in my 3 previous vehicles and they were a pain in the *****. Always had issues with corrosion and bad ballasts.
I went with the SilverStars this time and love them! Not as bright as HID obviously, but much better than stock. Just make sure you go with the Silverstar ULTRA. I think I paid $50 for the pair at Autozone.

same with me, ballasts were the biggest pain in the a**. i probably went through atleast 6 for both the headlights and fogs. worst part was i always had to check and make sure all the lights came on, sometimes one or two would be out, and my fogs went out every time the roads were wet.
i got the ultras in my headlights and regular silverstars in the fogs. its actually alot brighter than my HID's were, but its cause i had 10k's. they might not be as bright as white HID's but they'll always turn on which is worth it to me

Not very hard. Their kits are plug and play.
