I actually went out about a week ago to move the cars around and change the lights, but, the battery was down (because I keep forgetting to either go buy a new one or keep a tricklecharger on it) and I got made and went back to playing Skyrim

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Not impressed with DDMTuning so far:
Missing 12volt connectors of any kind.
Didn't ship the relay harnesses I ordered.
Does ship from China BTW.

AutoGoody vs Caspers:

Fit and finish obviously, similar thickness.
AutoGoody is significantly shorter, Caspers shield extends past the bulb end ~1/4 inch, Goody is flush.
(D2S bulb)
Caspers may seat the bulb about a 1/16 deeper in the housing/reflector

I need two sets, using both: so Caspers on the driver's and goody on the passenger's where the flaws will be less glaring (har har har).

Since I ordered two sets I got a few bucks knocked off the Autopals, first line item I beat JD on :)    (never catch up on the others tho)

Can't wait to see some pics of your digital slim line ballasts Dave!
Do these have the igniters located in a separate enclosure outside & downstream of the ballasts?
 
Not sure what you meant by no 12v connectors?  Did you finally get some connectors for it?
 
Am anxious to see some pics of the DDM Balasts + your installation.
 
Think you shoulda done it last week when it was +8deg C.....now we are back in the deep freeze!
 
Or will you wait till Spring time?
 
 
 
 :111: Best Wishes to You and Yours for a Merry Christmas & a Happy, HEALTHY New Year!   :114:
 
Cheers!

the igniters are part of the ballast.  The slim ballasts are digitial in and out while the regular are analog in and digital out.

There is NO glare from the (autogoody) shields!! like you said, it is flush with the D2s bulb :D
 
I have had the GN out alot lately at night, and have never been flashed at once because of the hids, nice cutoff.

Perhaps JD could describe exactly one would connect a system with ONLY the items show (AKA shipped) :)
