Sorry Guys I havent had much time to get on here...I have been super busy with work....

And to answer your question, I did not get a chance to look at the bulb and see if it turns upside down. I have the HI/LO H4 3000K bulb. It does work, the housing from what im told is not capable of handling such high discharge. The H4 HI/LO bulb is alittle longer than the regular H4 bulb. Hope I answered all your questions. I will try to get to my bulb this holiday weekend since im off work. Will post pics asap! Happy Holidays

Just installed mine! I am loving the yellow looks really good. Few questions though.. First when I hit my highbeams my fog lights go off... and second my hid headlights not the fogs are really high.. Feels like I got my high beams on because they are lighting up things my Highbeams would like the tops of houses and tall signs etc. VERY bright lights

^ When you hit your High beams it wants to switch the fog lights to high beams. Since these are not Bi-Xenon ballasts(might also include bulbs) you do not have high beams.

If you noticed, When you installed the Kit, it plugged into 2 out of the 3 plugs.

hmm, tops of houses? I do know there is some dim light that does shine up a bit, so it lights up reflective signs. Stand in front of your car you will see what I mean. Its not that bright as you can stare into it without any discomfort.

As well as people who I drove behind, when asked said there was Zero glare and everything was good.

Quick question, how long do the 3k's take to warm up?(go yellow)

You noticed too that yellows took a sec to fully light up.. For me only a few seconds to light fully up at first I was like boo but when they were lit they look awesome.. I had my girl drop me off on side of the road and I watched it do a drive by and damn they looked super nice!!

Again my only concern is it feels like I'm driving with high beams I'm lighting up balconys on houses as I drive through my neighborhood.. And things I could only do before when my high beams are on..

Definetly loving the hids very good mod for the buck.. I suggest to anyone who doesn't have hids to pick some up

^ hmm, you sure you installed the bulbs correctly? Can you Take a picture on a wall with just the Lows on? You It should not be lighting up anything more then stock other then reflective highway signs(which is what I noticed)

My Fogs take like 30sec till they go yellow lol, do yours take that long?

I been reading apparently the DDM Ballasts can do hi/lo through the hi/lo bulbs. Hopefully they guys with the hi/lo bulbs can do some testing and possibly get those bulbs working without the eye lashes.

^^ From what it sounds like, you are having the same problem i have, with the eyelashes. When the fogs are one, there is light shinning outward. therefore lighting up the neighbor ladie changing in the window, and the high street signs. When I talked to DDM about it, they stated the g35 headlamp housing is not made for the high intesity of the bulb, creating the light beams to bounce different places.????

Ive been having some family medical issues, so taken a pic of my lights right now, are on the bottom of the list. Hope MAX626 can get a pic to show. THanks

just the fog No Hi/Low bulb here. I think my headlights just need to be aimed because they are kinda high. My fog lights are fine and no problems with them.
