Buntin, I just installed a set from there too but they were the DDM ones.
Anyways, did they work at all?

I am assuming you didnt notice that the wires on the kit and your car are backwards. So, you will either have to file and cut the extra platic away so you can turn your plug upside down, or strip, and solder the wires correctly on the ballast itself which is was I did. Its not to hard if you have soldered before. Did you buy a relay harness? Good luck man!

u need something like this http://www.automotivelightingusa.com...0eb46c872cb3d1
what is is is a postive wire that connects directly to the battery to goes to a relay(this relay is connect to your stock harness, then when you turn ur lights on inside ur car, it trips the relay) this relay goes to the head lights, afther the head lights the wires go to the frame(ground)

I did not buy the relay harness. Should I have? I and the were from ddmtuning too. Also I did not notice that they didn't match up so i can easily fix that. I've souldered before... I installed my valor head unit myself. Also what does a relay harness do?

its an exteranl wiring, basivcly it connects the headlights dirrectly to the battery with a thicker cable like 12 guage so that it dosent put any strain or damge the stock wiring, the stock wirings job is simply to trip the relay on the harness turing the lights on

The relay prevents the ignition spike from burning up the headlight switch. It's an easy installation if you understand how it works.
