Question so when the HID are installed on the fogs lights will it interfere with the stock HID?? Like will there be any major electrical issue because both HID are running and they are drawing alot of wattage??
Also have any one had any problems with DDM Tunnng Ballast i had a DDM Tunning kit before and had it in my civic ( Back when i had one) and it totally fried my fuse box has any one had this happen?? Does that mean my Ballast is bad?? And what if still works if i test it should i re-use the ballast. Cause the civic head lights are the same bulb size as Our G35 fog lights. Also is there any fuses or relay we can put in between the wires just in case like and electrical surge happens??? Any thoughts???

Use a relay and you wont have to worry about the wattage. I use DDM almost exclusively now. What do you mean it fried your whole fuse box? WTF? It should have fried only 1 fuse...

I had a 99 ek civic coupe and near the battery was a fuse box that had the batter cables running into it to power the other electrical components in the car and that box like melt fuses and one of the cables the negative one that ran from the battery to the fuse box melted through the plastic housing of the fuse box. Yeah so i dont know it there will be and electrical interference with both HID running. And when you say relay where would i put that relay and what kind of relay would I use??

Ermmm something was wrong there, fuses werent doing their job if they allowed wires to melt. You didnt put higher amp fuses in did you?

I have 2 HID kits in my mazda, no problems there.

This is the harness Ive been using: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/180736723307?...ht_2203wt_1111

I would recommend getting someone else to do it this time. You dont want the same thing happening to your G.

The engineers know how to keep wires from melting lol. It was clearly something the owner did

I'm not sure who you're talking to.
Also, use commas.

shut up.
1. The OP is very well written and easy to follow.

2. Your questions are poorly formed and give useless information, if you have a question, state it and throw in some punctuation and proper spelling.

3. I bolded the things you wrote that show you dont know what you are talking about, I was trying to help, but **** it, maybe you will find a way to melt your G35s wiring too.

Figured id throw this in there, the 03-04 are shaped quite differently in the fog part of the housing, this wont work on them. Hope this saves someone some time and effort.
