    Well, you should get to know more Quebecers before to hate them and write meaningless comments like that! What you hear is not always the general truth...

    It's illegal to drive with one headlight. Hopefully yall actually know that and this is all just a joke. Haha and ome of my brand new ballasts didn't fire this morning and it was 37 degrees out. The new ones are pieces of shit just like the old ones. This is the 4th set I've had now

    that sucks man! some people think i'm bitching but really i'm just frustrated that on day #2 after i installed the retrofit, both ballast are fried…i mean this was supposed to be high quality equipment compare to the cheap ebay stuff. This should not happen…

    i called Trs and i think they are well aware of the problem…i hope the new ballast they will send won't have that problem...

    I feel your pain. Both of the the new DSP ballasts they sent as. Replacements are both bad. One won't fire at all and the other won't fire first go.

    how long ago did you get those replacements?

    do you still run them or you installed something else?

    Well I didn't cut my wires on the old ones yet until I get ones that won't burn out or have issues. I've got these maybe after xmas or around that time frame. So right now I'm running one old and one new ( but won't fire the first time)
