DDM Tuning HID kit...Do I need these optional parts???
I was looking at the DDM HID kit...
http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DDM-HID-Kit-Slim-Ballast-35W-or-55W
I am pretty much set on the 35w H13 5000k...
but what I am wondering is if anyone else has ordered this kit and actually required the HID harness, Error Eliminator, and Adapter cables.
These are optional parts, but does anyone know if we need them for our JK's, and please explain what they do...
Thanks!

Ok so I'll get the HID harness for sure, but I am still not sure about the other stuff.
Worst case scenario I guess I can always order those parts later if I realize I need them when I am doing the install.
And ya I think I might go with the 55w for 10 bucks more. Might as well...

I would definitely get the harness. The bulb out eliminators will eliminate the buzzing on the low beam, but you would still have to do the capacitor trick for the high beam.
I run the DDM harness with a susquehanna harness that was left over from my H4 conversion. And trust me, the 5000k in 35w is more than enough. 55w would probably burn out and blind everyone.

For a '09 you don't need the Error Code Eliminators. The good thing about DDM is that if you order a kit and later realize you need the Error Eliminator, they will let your order it and ship it to you seperately.

What about the 2008 X? And I am talking about headlights... in case there is a difference between headlights and foglights setups. I am getting the HID harness, but do I need the error eliminator?

One issue I did read and have encountered is that sometimes when I turn them on only 1 light comes on. So I just turn them off and back on right away and they both power up. Still clueless of why it does this. But it's only happened 3 times in 2 months.
Lastly make sure to use the how-to on adjusting your headlights mine were a tad high and I got flashed 4 times in a 5 min quick test fun.

I bought the error eliminators and didn't need them for the headlights. No buzzing with my 08' X here.
