FWIW, I bought 4 kits from VVME and ended up with 2 dead ballasts. So yea, I wouldn't be shocked to hear of someone going 0-for-4. But it sounds like you're getting some of them to work, which is a good sign.

I got all four to light up. However, one of them has difficulties starting up..
It just flashes like five times in a 5hz rate, and shuts off. if I switched the ballasts at that light (the left light), they both seemed to be working. But right side seemed to have brighter light. Going to double check the earthing and all now. .see how far I get.

Believe I'm going with ddm's when i take the plunge...why doesn't anybody post pics of the light output/cutoff? I took a look inside the halogen projector and i did see a cutoff shield!

I got them all to light up properly now, but maybe there's a weakness in my left side wiring loom. Seems like it has more voltage loss.. Don't think it's related to the HIDs itself. They light up nicely and work as they should..!
