So is the switching of the negative and positive inputs in the installation instructions?

Hi,

Every car will be a little different in terms of the polarity.

Mr IS350 - are you planning on upgrade low beams or fogs?

Hi,

That is correct. You would need to get the H11 HID kit for the low beams.

couple of questions steve:

1. if the bulb burns out on this volt kit, what replacement bulb would we need? since i assume the fitment is 9006.

2. will you be making a 3000k kit?

Hi,

If the bulbs burn out we can provide you with Volt replacement bulbs. You will see them pop up on the website (unfortunately we have not had a chance to do that yet). Currently there are no plans for the volt in 3000k. If you would like 3000k we actually just lowered the Xtreme 3000k kit pricing to $199.99 plus an additional $25 discount with the CL discount code.

the low draw starting current is diffrent between the xtreme and volt right?

both are digital but one says DSP what does this mean?

and im looking for more road visablity so bellow 600k what the most lumes i can get?

300k offers how much lumes? vs a 600k?

i think 4300k is best lumes right?

Hi,

While both ballasts (Xtreme & Volt) are relatively low the Xtreme ballast is slightly lower being that it only draws up to approx 4.5A upon start up. The harness that is included with the Xtreme kit though will ensure that the ballasts will at all times receive a constant 12V.

If you want the brightest possible output I would suggest going with the 4300k kit Xtreme kit. You will gain approx 20% more lumens (light output).

MR.IS350: Thank you for your response. In that case you would pretty much need to follow the review posted.
