  1. The PWM canbus module is not required for the Legacy if you don't have anytime running lights one the same light. Danny
  2. Consider this another vote against putting HIDs in High Beams, but with a small caveat. The main reasons they are not the best fit are because all HID lighting has a warmup period (usually 10-30 seconds or so, more noticeable off a cold start but always there to some degree - if you need a quick flash of light, like for signalling to pass, your lights will probably still be warming up while you need them) and the extreme brightness in a High Beam. You think people flash their lights at you for driving with your High Beams on when they're not necessary? High Beam HIDs will be overkill. That being said, if you're doing rural/mountain/off-roading/driving anywhere there aren't really regular light sources, or if you're going to turn your High Beams on and leave them on for extended periods of time, then HIDs could work for you. They're just not great for regular city driving or how most people tend to use those lights. ~Robert
  3. Hey everybody! Our Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale just went live and you can find all the details at XenonDepot.com. http://artoflightindustries.com/xd/images/design/forum/xd-forums-bfcm2017.jpg ~Robert
  4. There are various factors to this. - The age of the vehicle may have had something to do with this. - If a ballast is not low draw (Our Xtreme and Volt ballast are both low draw) - Some vehicles do need the relay harness and some also need a canbus because of the lighting system they may have. None of these apply with the Legacy. Danny
  5. It would be that simple! But to clarify, you can't connect the ballast directly into your factory harness unless it's a 9006 connector. We provide a trigger wire with our HID bulbs to allow you to connect the ballast to your factory harness where other style connectors are required. Just follow the steps @The Grey Goose posted - Danny
  6. @upstater - I'm assuming this was directed towards me, so I'll play along for a bit.. (1) HID conversion kits are illegal, but there is no doubt that they work better in some halogen headlights then others. (2) Your "retrofit" is just as illegal as an HID kit. If you're concerned about legality, then "unmodify" your headlights, and go back to halogen. Don't preach about legality when the modification you have done is just as illegal. (3) What sort of photometric testing have you done after your retrofitted your headlights to ensure that your new headlights comply with federal motor vehicles safety standards, and that they are not producing any glare? You've chosen to retrofit your headlights because you felt that it was the right thing to do - good for you. Coming on here and calling people "cheap" and "lazy" because they don't necessarily feel the same way you do is just wrong, and ignorant. Steve
  7. @ denokarter -- Thats all you would need to order. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't your vehicle use the high beam bulb for the DRL? Steve
  8. @larrya07 - Thank you for the feedback! @JHamilton117 - Here is a link to the kit: http://www.xenondepot.com/H11-HID-Kit-Xtreme-HID-p/xt-h11.htm @ict_ks - Thanks for the help! Steve
  9. @ict_ks - Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm glad to hear that you're satisfied with your purchase of a XenonDepot HID kit Steve
  10. No problem at all. As you saw, we are offering 2nd day air shipping on all HID conversion kits shipping within the contiguous USA for a limited time. Steve
  11. @DanG_Legacy - Thank you so much for taking the time to post up feedback on the board. I'm glad to hear (and see) that you're enjoying your XenonDepot H11 HID kit Steve
  12. @aotus - I'm glad to hear that you're happy with the light output. The buzzing sounds will subside once the ballasts fully warm up, but it is normal to hear an audible buzzing sound from the ballast. Steve
  13. @DanG_Legacy - This is a pretty good thread showing the differences: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/310-7th-generation-2012/692009-xenondepot-xtreme-hid-kit-review-5000k-4300k.html @DA_MAXX - Thank you for the feedback! I hope you're doing well!! Steve
  14. DanG_Legacy - Thank you for your business Did you go with the Philips 4300k option? Steve
  15. @vpdjc - save 15% off is on right now! - Expires today. Steve
  16. @CT2015Legacy - dealerships are very quick to blame anything aftermarket - related, or not. The flickering is present with or without the H11 LED headlight kit installed... Steve
  17. @DanG_Legacy: (1) Xtreme ballast are low-draw, and can safely be powered directly from the OEM headlight wiring (They only draw 4.5A on a cold start). It looks like the response you received was a generic response, which indicates that you would most likely need to use a relay harness with their product. I know that TRS had some SERIOUS cold-start issues with their ballasts (which a relay harness would have solved), but that is limited to the design/quality of their product. I don't know if their problems have been resolved, but their "blanket" statement DOES NOT apply to our product when it comes to your Subaru. (2) Philips bulbs - I had this exact issue come up on a different forum. Please view this thread for your piece of mind that you are in fact getting genuine Philips bulbs: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/engines-suspension-wheels-tires-audio-accessories/79246-comprehensive-review-xenondepot-4300k-hid-kit-2003-limited-v8-4wd-5.html In short, don't fall for gimmicky marketing fluff. Steve
  18. @DanG_Legacy - I would suggest going with this Philips H11 LED bulb for your fog lights. @LG-Spot - You will 100% need it if your vehicle uses the high beam bulb as a DRL (daytime running light). You will NOT need it if you do not have DRL. Steve
  19. @securityguy - Hope you're doing well!! @Ahhppull - I think I may have replied to your email as well Steve
  20. 55W HID kits being sold by other vendors typically use a 50W ballast mated to a 35W bulb. The 50W ballast ends up overdriving the 35W bulb, which causes to burn hotter and will 100% cause the bulb to burn out prematurely -- which could be the least of your problems given that the bulb had been burning hotter may have damaged your headlights by now.. No vehicles that come with HID lights from the factory come with a 55W system -- only 35W. buyer beware. Steve
  21. This turned out great! Enjoy the lights As for the relay harness, your vehicle doesn't need them because it doesn't have any CANbus system or "light out" indicators. Additionally, it's not needed since the HID system is 35W and your halogen bulbs are 55w so the HID lights are more efficient. Danny
