I received the Autopal housings today.  They seem to be made pretty well for the price.

Re: D2S HID Bulbs

Hey Steve,

Am looking at doing a similar conversion using D2S bulbs. What ballasts did you end up using?

Would these D2S to amp conversion harness be req'd if using a standard HID ballast?

I already have Caspers Anti Glare (D2S to H4 adapters).

If your going to use D2s bulbs as your choice of bulb, then yes, you do need the D2s to amp wire adapter. The adapter has nothing to do with what ballast you use, it's the back of the D2s bulb that is different from the H4 bulb. I ordered my hid kit from DDM tuning. I believe Steve did also.

The (plus $15.00) by bulb type what Steve typed above is for the D2s adapter, they add that $15.00 in their kits when you order a D2s, D2r bulb.

Thanks for the clarification guys.

I was originally thinking of going with their slim line ballasts (due to the fact they're smaller and we all know there is not much room under our hoods for stuff). However, I see the slim line have extra stuff...ie an external igniter (probably because there's no room for it inside the smaller ballasts).

Is this correct?  I don't want to order the raptor ballasts vs slim line....if the raptor ballasts also use an external igniter.....

????

Everything is internal on the ballasts, except for the two snap on connections, look at my pic above, you will see what the ballast look like.

When you order Caspers bulb shield that price is for a pair (I hope)?

After reading this    https://www.ddmtuning.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=35&nav=0,2


I decided to go with the regular Raptor ballast instead of the slimline.   It is really hard to fully understand/know the differences between them based on other net info.  Most discussions seem to relate to fully analog vs fully digital and not the hybrid described in the link.
