isnt there a slight bump on the factory part that prevents it from going into B1 anyway?

Has anyone here used DDM's Raptor kits? I've been hunting for HID's for my fogs, came across these, but looking for opinions. Also curious about you guys running HID's in your fogs - no issues with heat? Did you use a harness?

BTW, I'm rolling a 2005 Hoe with 880 fog lamps. Since they're only 27w, I'm thinking a harness might be in order for any HID install.

When pluging into the balast from your factory harness... Flip the plug over. It's Chinese, everything in china is wired backwards...LOL I'm serious... Chevy's have the power and ground reversed in the plug....mine work good..

Some people may need to use it. It depends on the vehicle. You could use it if you wanted to but there is no point

No harness, no heat issues?

no, 35w 880s are right for fog housings, if u got 55w, then i bet you'd melt your fog housings
