i usually just use the top fx-r's and some times i use the bottom tsx's with the fx-r's when i'm alone on the road in and the area that isn't well lit.

The extra beam width of the tsx projectors are pretty nice.

Right now i'm using 55watt ballasts on the fx-r and the oem ballasts on the tsx's. Some times when a driver pisses me off at night, pretty much can light up there life with both quads on and the fx-r high shields open...

I get a good amount of blue at the cut off...its hard to see the purple because of all the haze from my head light covers...i tried to sand off as much as i can but it still kills a lot of the color.

Nice retrofit!! did you have any problems with your ballast (flickering) at all? i did mine but i don't know how to fix the flickering, i think it has something to do with the yellow cable that goes to the bulb connector, do you have any tips?

Flickering HID bulbs can result from three things:

Bad salts in the bulb
Improper connection/weak electrical source
Non-digital ballasts

I'd suggest checking all of your connections first, especially your grounds. Did you run a seperate power wire and relays for your HIDs, or did you use the OE wires?

Also, are you running stock ballasts or aftermarket? There are a lot of things that can go wrong with HIDs. Telling us a little more info about your setup can help a lot.

oh whoops just read that, nevermind.
I dont have a flcikering issue, only issue I have was with my poor sealant skills, got a little condesation and had to re clamp it, but never affected the wireing...
im sorry I cant remember the specific wireing. Was all plug and play for me besides the cutting and drilling for mounting the projectors.
May need a new Ballast? Could be a number of things

Sounds like bad salts in the bulbs, then. Where did you buy the bulbs from? Cheap bulbs will do this a LOT.
