I need help if anyone has an answer. I had a problem with my passenger side headlights not coming on all the time, usually i could turn the lights off and back on and it would turn on. I changed the ballast and haven't had that problem again. Now my passenger side foglight is completely out and won't come on. Is it another bad ballast or something else?
The factory wires cannot support the extreme voltage that HID ballasts demand to ignite the bulbs. This shortage results in one of two results. a) most of the time the ballast won't last long and will die prematurely or b) in rare cases the wires catch fire and burn up your truck.
As you can see, using a fused harness right to the battery is a good idea.

Yes, Morimoto makes the best aftermarket ballasts by FAR. Of course, I also strongly recommend the projector retrofit. Go read around at HIDplanet.com for ideas.
