    **Meant to get this info to you sooner, new to the forum, user error ha.

    Andrew, whats the latest on the GB tally? I inquired about the Bi-Xenon PNP upgrade kit and Jamielle got back to me with some good info.
    Naturally, I have more questions... I just put an HID kit in before I joined the forum and I now have buyers remorse, ha
    I'm looking into returning or using what I already have to save a couple bucks but if I can hack it (through the GB) and I'll just buy the kit.

    I've got a quick question for anyone who can answer.

    I got the morimoto mini H1 retro kit a while back, the ballasts got recalled (mine were "pulsing") and I got my new ballasts which work great except or one problem.

    My passenger side headlight always works, but my driver side headlight only comes on about 50% of the time when I crank up my truck. I have checked my grounds and checked continuity and it all checks out fine. Could it be my bulb in the driver side headlight or what? Another bad ballast?

    I have switched grounds a couple of times to see if thats the problem and I cant seem to figure it out.

    Swap bulbs and see if problem switches as well or stays on drivers side.

    If it follows then you have a bad bulb.

    If it stays then either ballast or wiring problem.

    So I'm going through preparing my purchase and this is what I'm thinking

    Bi-Xenon Morimoto Mini Stage III D2S
    Projectors: D2S 3.0 (O Lens/LHD)
    Ballasts: D2S Morimoto 3five DSP
    Bulbs: 35w D2S 3Five 5000k
    Shrouds: Apollo 3.0
    Wire Harness: MotoControl Bixenon H4/9003
    Halos: 100mm White
    Glue: OCI Butyl Rubber Glue
    Shroud Centric Rings

    Am I missing anything? Want to make sure I got everything!

    And when I check out, I get " **D2S 3.0: (O Lens/LHD)" is not available in the requested quantity. 1 of the items will be backordered"

    ^ What does that mean?

    Thanks!

    Looks good! and the ** you got is because they're waiting on a shipment to come in with more products, hence why they may be waiting tip next week to ship out. Ive been waiting for quite some time on new ballasts and they're finally shipping when everyone else's stuff does

    So my D2S 3.0 shank seems to short to accept both the lock ring and bulb lock ring. Seems cutting is going to be inevitable.

    Correct the nut fits in the space perfect however once it begins to screw on there aren't enough threads. Or else I'm not screwing it on to compress the rubber alignment washer hard enough.
