My driver head light rarely comes on when I start my car. I have pulled the DRL fuse and relay but as you know, it didn't help. I havent talked to anyone on here about it but like mentioned in a previous post, it definitely has something to do with the low voltage at start up. Im pretty sure all you need is a relay to send a higher amperage 12v to the bulb at start up. If that's the case I believe the the diagram would be: 86-12v, 85-ground, 87-lo beam wire, an 30 would be your trigger to the ballast. But I feel you it's a bit aggravating but it's no biggie. I know it's got nothing to do with ddm as everyone at my shop an my gf all are using them with no issues.

L&L... try to increase your fuses to your headlights (low beam I think is all that is needed) by 5amps.

Here's the DDM troubleshooter

Sometimes they can be funny acting but once you get the bugs worked out on your setup, you'll love em. I've been working with VJ over text messages the last couple days...

Screw the ddm troubleshooter. I use the gasman troubleshooter!

And ya L&L, try the fuse thing. Mine were fine after I pulled the drl, but then yesterday neither came on till i flickered with them on and off. I'm going to increase my low beam fuses +5a when I get home today.

I'm gonna try that in just a minute. That would be great if that fixes it. If not o well, back to flickering them on/off once. Thanks gasman!
