That is weird. Everything seem fine with the relay harness? You could always get some different ballasts and if you have just get some AMP to D2 connectors to make them work.

the other thing i would suggest to you is switching ur DRL's from ur low beams to your fogs. this way, the low beams will be on ur fog light swtich and will have full power goin to them when u flick the switch. that might be the reason, even though u have the plug and play.

ahh, i wana help you figure this out too. I'm getting mine done in Jan..

hmm, ask ceasar if he could send you a 'test' ballast to see if thats the problem. Those HID kit he sells have lifetime warranty I believe.

If he doesn't agree to it, I'd say give the company a call. They may be able to help or exchange out a kit.

I'll check and keep you posted so you won't have any problems with your conversion. He's been closed the past 2 days so I'm assuming I won't hear from him till Monday.

I'm not sure what happened but everything works just like it's supposed to now. Maybe it's because I kicked my car? Anyways, I ordered the drl flicker eliminator from 02-lancer-es and waiting for that to come in the mail.

www.lightwerkz.net he's probably the best retrofitter you will find. Since you're form NJ I would suggest that you get in contact with him and get an invoice and then you need to pay 50% of the total to get on the waiting list and then when it's your turn take your car there so you can save on shipping the lights.

^agreed. Like athmak15 said, although we are local, we still have to go thru a waiting list process and pay 50% deposit

Yea, I'm Fernando and I'm on the waiting list. When it is my time, I have to unmount my headlights and I will personally hand them to him to save time and expedite shipping expenses. Even tho we are both local, there is still a wait time so lightwerkz can gather the proper parts for your certain conversion. It's only fair.

Give him a call and maybe he can work something out. I actually could have had my conversion done a while ago, but I set my conversion to be done on a certain weekend--The only weekend I wont need the car.

The earlier you get things set up, the better.


**and to athmak15: good to hear you got everything worked out. I'm sure they look great as all his other work does
