    Ok. So I bought the hid kit from DDMtuning.com. I bought the 35watt 9007 hi/lo 6000k set. So I set it up and everything is fine. BBBBUUUUTTTT I have no hi/lo feature. If I have the highs on it appears as if its on normal beam but if I put it on normal then the passenger side is on high beam but not the drivers side...here is a pic...just look as the shadows..and also a vid. I am standing directly in front of my vehicle. Right in line with the rear view mirror and mitsu symbols.

    Oh and one more symptom. I bought the DEPO projector housings and well they suck...the fitment on one side is close but not precise but on the other side....its horrible. Anyway...my turning signals on these headlights do not work. I might have blown a fuse. I will check tomorrow afternoon. But the fitment on the drivers side if very close. It has a small gap on the top corner where it meets the wheel fender. But the passenger side sticks out about half an inch. Pretty much sucks. I may send that side back.

    It may be any number of things. If its like my kit, it only uses power from one headlight plug...which I didn't like. I'm thinking it may be a bad Hi/Low relay or a bulb issue. I know you've probably done it already, but check the wiring for the relay and try using the other headlight plug. If that dosen't fix it...Call DDM...

    Good idea about calling DDM. I thought Jogen had a plug n play kit, not the relay kit. I don't remember.

    I have no idea. Is yours the kit that has the 2 ballast, along with the little black relay box that is a pain in the ass to find a spot for? If it is, check your connection to your headlight harness. I think I had to swap one of my pins....not sure though. I know I had to shave a bit off the DDM harness to get it to fully lock into the OEM headlight harness.....

    2 ballast 1 relay 1 plug into the drivers side. Sounds exactly right. I've done the whole connection check, but I will do it again.

    I figured you would think of that first...but I just wanted to cover all the bases here....

    I put the little black box on a small shelf next to the pulley. I will take a pic later and post it up here. All the other things are sorta just floatin around. The cable to run from right to left for the relay where is that wire at. I have mind going in front of the radiator attached to the front bumper. Best place I could find to put it without it being in danger of heat or rain.

    When I had my relay harness kit, I think I ziptied the wire going from one side to the other by the radiator area. Can't really remember, it's been a while since I've had that kit.

    I think I have this fixed. For some reason the bulbs themselves have to be turned a certain way for the high low feature to be visible. Dunno why that is. Gonna order another kit soon and some bulbs for my fogs. Then on with the turbo. Will let yall know whats up.

    Edit*
    I thought I fixed it.....I think one side is going out in the kit. I swapped the ballast for left and right and the problem only swapped sides with it. One side is brighter than the other.
