Ok so here is my dilemma. I bought the 35w SINGLE beam headlights and fogs... My headlights I hooked up with the error eliminators. No relays.. I'm still have issues where they just turn off. They worked fine last night when I first put them in but it's not consistent. Maybe the 35watt isn't enough power for the computer ? Should I get 55w? My buddy runs the exact same setup with 55w and he's claiming that's the issue. The ballast soaks up most of the power and it's not enough for the computer so they shutdown ?

I called ddm tuning. They told me it will work. And that I need to add a capacitor to the ecu and maybe a diode. I really don't think I wanna be doing " brain surgery ". What do you guys think ?

Call up DDM and get the hi/low harness. This uses the passenger side headlight plug and runs its own plug to the driver side. You will not use the driver side head light plug. I dont think that its not working because it not being 55w. I am running the 35w with harness, and i helped 3 other JK guys put them in with the same kit with no issues. One guy just has the low beam bulbs also and they work great. Hope this helps.

Finally got my hids to work. Went and ordered 5k bulbs. But now I can't seem to get the fogs to work lol. I have error eliminators hooked up and they just flash slowly a few times and then don't work :(
I've used ddm hids on my past 3 trucks and I can't believe how annoying they are with my jk

I have the 35wat as well without issue, only thing I have is the hi/low harness, no error code eliminator or anything. No problems to report
As long as your bulbs are the hi/low variety, the harness should be the only thing goofing up your system. I have ddm hids in my fogs as well, no eliminators and just the normal harness. Also no issues. If you are using the harness on the fogs I would try taking out the error eliminator.
