Might be funny, but i installed them in the reverse lights for a buddy. It's easier than it sounds (untill you start melting part of the tail light).
all you need is 35W KIT, any bulb you want, 2 wire taps, and a harness.
, it works great with the Tailgate switch (aka weapon against tailgaters)

The backorder emails are usually 1-2 days after order.
I'd like to add something to the installation:
Learn from my mistake. My H11 kit came w/ a socket on the end. i removed the spades from the socket and just plugged in as shown. Mistake was that i did not insulate the spades. As you can see in the original post the spades have black shrink wrap around the base of the spades. Mine did not have this. The spades shifted and contacted each other and caused the fuse in the engine compartment to blow.
So in the installation add some red colored shrink wrap tubes and insulate from the wire to the "teeth" on the spades. Save yourself the headache.

I got the slim ballast....cause it came with it, and mine was here in 2 days! but all I'm saying is everyone keeps having a bulb go out or bad ballast with DDM. I haven't seen one complaint about DD's kit. I'll pay extra for convience!

Alright Kidosssss,
SJE0123,
KIA said silly, as in a cute way to call people, silly wasn't an insult, he said buy DD, he's entitled to his opinion and recommendation. no need to call him an "opinionated idiot".
Don't start fights on useful threads. take your name-calling/ insulting else where. No room for immaturity here. you guys started it, i'm ending it

Glad you cleared that up.... I've been wasting HOURS trying to Google "DiodeDynamics Silly" and couldn't seem to find it.......
Truthfully, this is one of the best DIY threads that I have seen on here. But.... didn't anyone else install a Wolo BigBoy horn like I did? Or the KIA Factory Remote Start like I did? sigh.......

being smart??? and if you feel like showing off your "mods" might as well start a thread to discuss it, or maybe contribute and create a DIY.
and people did install horns, and made clever DIY. (Hella Horn is the first to come to mind).
and as for the remote start, people got way better ones than the factory one. i think "TheBeast67" has the "compustar drone mobile" that you start it with your phone.
I'm one of the few/first to get a remote start (crimestopper) on a manual transmission.

So I don't have to get the Wiring Harness if I'm installing the 35w on the lowbeams? Also about the Harness, is it the Error eliminator or the HID Harness if I do need it or should get it. I just want to make sure before I order them. Nice write up! can't wait to get these in!
