    not sure, I was told 35w, that the 55w was too much for our electrical systems...

    I think it was 5 days or so. It was quicker than I expected after reading what people were saying about how busy they are this time of year...

    that's not entirely true, there is a difference in how the filiments are placed inside the bulb itself, which is why many people get flashed after installing HID lights... the H4 bulb, when installed, tends throw light higher than 9003s because of this reason. there is no problem installing H4 bulbs where 9003 were previously installed, you will only need to re-adjust the headlight throw to the stock height to avoid blinding people.

    You know my rubber boot does not fit so tightly...the factory light didnt have a boot, so I don't think it makes a huge difference. The fog might have gotten in there during the install. It was real cold in my garage when I did mine, it fogged up, I haven't noticed it since.

    Did you get your rubber boot on tight? I might give it another go if you did.

    Also the two wires that are open end on the ddm kit that connect to the oem plug, did you pull those out of the boot? I did, I dont see any other way to get the boot up to the light tightly with those two extra wires in there.
