I was constantly having moisture inside the assemblies until I took the caps off and ran a hair drier on high for about 5 minutes right into the one cap hole. I had also parked the car in the really hot sunlight shining right on the headlights. I did em one at a time, and capped them off after about 5 minutes of blowing hot air into it. I made sure the humidity was low that day and after I did that to both of them, it never returned. I have the assemblies that were modified right from purchase (2008 model) so it was the latest assemblies made. I don't know how that moisture ever got into there but it has never returned. If it does, I know how to get rid of it.

 

Yes. Too hot. Even a couple of 75W flood lamps, 2' away, left for a couple of hours, or longer (check surface temps) should work.

 

And there you have it!

 

Just purchased a kit today , question

Post 209 page 11 in.Jesse James pictures there two wires that sent through the rubber housing with two (copper?) Clips on the ends , What are those for ?

 

Those are the wires running from the ballast to power.. They plug into the OEM bulb socket.

 

did anyone get there light way to focussed on the middle ? i tried re aiming my lights but the HIDS provided useless light for me , i couldnt get the cars head lights to focus them out and properly or refract the light evenly , ideas?

 

Are you referring to the fact that the beam of light is focused straight ahead instead of to the sides? Because I believe that's a product of having projector housings as headlight units on the car.

Anyone else wanna chime in on this?

 

Not sure if this helps, but I usually have focusing issues (the full bandwidth of the light stream is not properly set into the housing so it either directs the majority of the lights beam very aggressibly down into the floor, or is very faint)

I overcame this problem by slightly bending the "key" on the HID that is suppose to nestle into the housing so that it angles the bulb higher.

 

i may try that, if i can bend the key it may just sit higher so it focuses better, the halogen bulb while not as bright gets almost perfectly even refraction over the road with clean cutt offs , the hids didnt , so they were brighter, but also only in front of me

 

Not sure if this is true, but DDM tuning warns of a Xenon shutter reflash needed. WFT is that?

Cars/trucks/motorcycles that have common issues with HID / LED: - Help Desk Software powered by DDM Tuning


Chrysler 300 series (2005-present): Low beams - May need error code eliminators (BOW3) or ECU flashed to turn on the Xenon shutter
- Chrysler PT Cruiser (2001-2007): Low beams - May need a wiring harness
- Chrysler Crossfire: Low beams - May need error code eliminators (BOW3) or ECU flashed to turn on the Xenon shutter

 

It's a part they sell. Go here:

And use BOW3 in the "Search" box.

P.S. If they actually work, it's pretty cheap.

 

our cars dont have xenon shutters, and dont require the error canceler

 

Mine doesn't have shutters either, it just shudders once in a while when I lose concentration during driving...

 

hahah i try to keep the shudders down to a minimum lol and from now on the tickets... lol

 

Would there be a problem mounting the ballasts inside the fog light panel? Just curious..

 

They are "weather resistant". Good enough? I don't know...

 

I guess I'll be the guinea pig. It's only $32. Didn't want to spend another $150 on fog lights. I'll report back after some use.

 

I put Morimoto HIDs in my lows, they came from TheRetrofitSource with those thingeys for the CAN bus .......

 

Same here, but didn't want to spend another $150 for the fog light HIDs

 

These worked fine in my Xfire:
