River044road Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Anybody know if it is possible to get one ballast to work two hids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkinpark Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Its not. They require a lot of voltage to run them and a single ballast just doesn't have the amperage to run both. Are they ebay HID?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theexbrit Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) True, 2 ballasts, 1 controller (if you want hi/low beam). Edited November 6, 2013 by theexbrit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River044road Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 No It's DDM tuning. I am going to HID my KC Apollo's and wanted to see if I could get away with one ballast per set since I have 4 up there, do not need hi/low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I've got DDM's for my Fogs, work well, little slow on the charge up time, but i cant complain for free, but if its going on your roof, you may have to get fancy with some kind of box to get the ballast away from the moisture. Post pics when you figure out a solution, im curious to see how this turns out. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Here's a related question: How would I retrofit HIDs into my stock units without blinding oncoming traffic? I know projectors are the way to go, but seeing as they're generally unavailable, and I'd prefer not to cut into the stockers I'm in a quandry. How hard is the wiring, and where do I get them? (I'm having a tough time with mentally picturing electricals so I need very specific links/instructions ) Edited November 7, 2013 by Karmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm having a tough time with mentally picturing electricals so I need very specific links/instructions ) You are just need a glowing sign at night that says "Don't look into the light". It's really easy to wire up if you have done other wiring projects. You have a power, ground, and a power that goes into one of the factory headlight plugs the biggest pain is making it so everything is neatly tucked away. I got my headlights from DDMtuning.com http://www.gtoforum.com/attachments/f42/12012d1313231268-hid-problem-not-bright-enough-need-help-hid_wiring_diagram_with_relay_harness_and_electrolytic_capacitor.png Edited November 7, 2013 by River044road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The placement of the ballasts are not really an issue because if it's 2 or 4 either way they are going under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it the lights you are referring to are not on your roof like in your avatar picture? -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River044road Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Yep. I found an h3 hid convert kit. Those four kcs are going to put out 5000lumins each soon Edited November 10, 2013 by River044road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
