    Pretty much. As soon as I can get through to these guys, I'm canceling the order I placed for the ballasts and ordering it from the place that Mike got his ballasts from. I only ordered these because they came for free with the DEPO headlights.

    Depending on the aplication. Most shocks have a different rebound dampening rate, than the compresion dampening rate. By flipping the shocks upside down, you are reversing what part of the suspension travle gets dampened with more force. I.e.....Rebound is generally given more dampening power, over compression. By flipping the shocks over, you can have a rougher ride, with less control on bumps.

    I see there's an H4 (9003) and an H4-H/L which is $26 more. What's the difference? :confused:

    They're apparently upgrading their office and are very busy and are so sorry for the inconvenience.

    I still canceled the order and asked them to respond to my ticket.

    Ugh. It shouldn't be this hard. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to upgrade your system right around the holidays. Durr.
