[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 7913957, member: 629234"] tldr thread, but i bought about 10 kits, and over 20sets of bulbs of the xentecs with the metal cases 2yrs. ago. first thing, is opern up the ballasts and silicone them so that thay are actually water tight. it's a bout 50/50 that your factory lighting harness is good enough condidtion to reliably supply steady clean voltage, so you might want the relay kit to run from the battery power. do not install them in aftermarket projectors with plastic lenses, as they will melt them. give them a 15min burn-in at least, 30min+ is better. meaning you turn them on and let them stay on constant the first time. with this, i have actually had great results. just replaced one that was starting to loose color, and even stayed off (ballast in protection mode) on me a couple times. somehow, there was dirt, or something on that bulb when i pulled it out. and, i'll still be money ahead of those who bought the high-dollar sets, when they make it through the 2nd pair of bulbs.
