I have the same type kioto ballast that I'm experimenting with at the moment. The resistor to destory is green and is buried in the goo. Soaristo site explains it well enough. I want to know what range of resistance the potentiometer needs to have good results and/or part numbers of what type works best. It would be very cool to have control of the wattage from inside the car... would it not?

As for DIY which is introduced here, because remodelling the HID ballast itself is done, when 10001 it breaks and, as for guarantee of the manufacturer it is not received even with when trouble occurs. In addition, because high tension (approximately 25,000V) remodelling the circuit which occurs is done, there is danger such as electric shock and vehicle fire.
Remodelling the result of doing, this one does not owe all responsibility even with when by any chance a some accident and damage etc. occur on the basis of the information which is introduced here. When you remodel, please go on all your own responsibilities.
[ In beginning ]
Well, "it shines and it is the craftsman of the thing maniac", but more and more foot was set in "the territory of withdrawal".
At part, you think that also the one which you know comes, but "high wattage conversion" of the HID burner is done. "Palenessconversion of the previous withHID burner ", the HID burner to be pale is made (pure white) the match which was done, but latest DIY remodels the HID ballast, does the attempt which makes the light intensity increase which is emitted dramatically.
Furthermore, concerning latest DIY,
1. Because there is danger such as electric shock and vehicle fire,
2. In order to prevent the fact that it is used surreptitiously intended because of trading
The detailed information which becomes necessary for remodelling it does not release. Because, concerning the essential part we do not answer altogether even on the bulletin board, please acknowledge beforehand.
In addition, this it is the same as other DIY, but concerning latest DIY, because it does not do trust production, please acknowledge together.
As described to also beginning, latest DIY, dramatic increase of the light intensity accompanies big risk exchange. Knowledge and the experience which are sufficient for the circuit the one which is not having recommends that the hand is not produced.

[ Concerning the HID ballast ]
The HID ballast is the unit which controls the illumination of the HID lamp. The origin of a word is derived from "Ballast" of the weight which is installed in the ship's bottom of the boat. You installed in the ship's bottom of the boat, from the fact that attitude is made to stabilize, the meaning, "thing which is made to stabilize" derived. When the fluorescent light appears in world, from the fact that the ballast is designated the ballast, in the world of the illumination, it is used in the sense, ballast = ballast.
[ Figure 1 ]
It is the block diagram of the ballast.(Figure 1)
The ballast is formed, supplies electric power to the lamp "the invertor" (INV) with, makes the lamp start "the igniter" (IGN) from.
(Illumination system)
With the stipulation of ECE99, as for rated lamp voltage of the HID lamp, it has become 85V. In order generally, to maintain the discharge of the HID lamp, the power supply voltage which is higher than lamp voltage becomes necessary. But, as for the battery of the automobile, because usually it is 12V, the illumination circuit which has boosting action (the invertor) becomes necessary in the HID ballast.
With the invertor illumination of the fluorescent light, makes light up "high frequency illumination system" is used in the frequency domain of number 10kHz. However, when the HID lamp is made to light up with this system, acoustic resonance phenomenon occurs, there are times when trouble such as flicker flame failure lamp destruction occurs. Because of this, when the HID lamp is made to light up, illumination frequency number 100Hz is low, acoustic resonance phenomenon is used does not occur "frequency rectangular wave illumination system low".
(Starting system)
In order to make the HID lamp light up, impressing high tension between the electrode, it is necessary to make sever relations to make destroy, to make discharge start. Because of this, the starting circuit which generates the pulse of high tension (the igniter) becomes necessary in the HID ballast.
In the igniter which is used with the general lighting, generating the pulse voltage 2,000 - 5,000V, you make the HID lamp start. But, at this pulse voltage, until the HID lamp is made to restart, the waiting which is suitable becomes necessary, it is not possible in the headlight of the automobile to apply. Because of this, pulse voltage is raised to approximately 25,000V, restarting possible system is used instantaneously.
Furthermore, with the stipulation of ECE99, 100% it does the luminous flux when stabilizing, after the starting 25% luminous flux, it is necessary to obtain 80% luminous flux in 4 seconds in 1 second. Because of this, even from at the time of rated illumination lamp voltage and it is necessary to increase lamp electric current substantially in the fixed time from immediately after the starting the HID lamp. As for this, there is no general lighting, it becomes HID ballast individual prerequisite.
[ Figure 2 ]
It is the block diagram of the invertor circuit.(Figure 2)
The invertor circuit is formed, adjusts the electric power which from direct voltage source is supplied to the lamp the "electrical adjustment circuit" (BLS) with, low converts electric power to frequency rectangular wave voltage electric current "direct current - the rectangular wave converting circuit" (controls SQR), and these the "control circuit" (CTR) from.
In the electrical adjustment circuit BLS, direct voltage source V1, is converted to the direct current voltage V2 which is necessary for the illumination of the HID lamp DL which is load. Direct current - in the rectangular wave converting circuit SQR, it converts V2 to frequency rectangular wave voltage VL low by changing ON/OFF state to high speed making use of the switching element, supplies to DL.
[ Figure 3 ]
It is the block diagram of the control circuit of lamp electric power.(Figure 3)
The control circuit is formed, the "voltage detector" (VDT), the "electric current detector" (IDT), the "target electrical generator" (WREF), the "division vessel" (DIV), the "error amplifier" (EA), and the "pulse width modulator" (PWM) from.
(Power control method)
In the control circuit, in order the HID lamp stability to make light up by electric power, it detects lamp voltage and lamp electric current, in order to become electric power of goal, closed-loop control.
Operation of the control circuit is as follows.
From output from of the electrical adjustment circuit BLS, V2 which is suitable to lamp voltage and I2 which is suitable to lamp electric current, are detected with the respective voltage detector VDT and electric current detector IDT, voltage signal VVL and electric current signal VIL are obtained.
It generates target electric power VWR with target electrical generator, WREF excluding VWR with VVL due to division vessel, DIV it obtains target electric current signal VIR.
The error signal VER of VIL and VIR is sought with error amplifier EA, the duty ratio of BLS is adjusted with pulse width modulator PWM.
In the time of rated illumination, VWR where WREF occurs is one fixed-command of 35W. However, in order to start luminous flux quickly in when starting the HID lamp, as the voltage which is higher than rating is given, time elapses following, in order to keep becoming one fixed-command, VWR is controlled. Because of this, it is possible to make the luminous flux startup stipulation satisfy which is ECE99, in the time of lamp starting.
Furthermore, when such as passing several seconds HID lamps are short, at the are made to restart curfew period whose, because there is a state where lamp temperature is very high, when the excessive electric power which is similar to the initial start-up is given, immediately after the restarting excessive light is generated, the big damage is given to the arc tube and the electrode. In order to avoid this, at the time of restarting, lamp temperature is presumed according to illumination time, the device which changes VWR appropriately has done.
[ Method of high wattage conversion ]
The aforementioned sort, as for output of the HID ballast, in order to become normal rated power by the control circuit CTR, it understood that being fed back and being controlled. In order here, to obtain the output above rating, if how it does, it is good, probably will be?
First, you can think the method of raising target electric power VWR as the simplest method. In addition, target electric power VWR without changing, voltage signal of the electrical adjustment circuit BLS or electric current signal VIL, lower than fact can think also the method of camouflaging VVL. Or, target electric current signal also the method of raising VIR or error signal VER is thought.
This time, in regard to circuit constitution, by the fact that xxxx value is modified, we have decided to raise output above rating.
[ The demerit due to high wattage conversion ]
Not only the merit in high wattage conversion, naturally, also demerit exists.
The demerit due to high wattage conversion is as follows.
With the increase of electric power consumption, burden to the battery expands.
(The same electric power consumption as halogen lamp)
Depending upon the increase of the calorific value, heat shield heat dissipation measure becomes necessary.
(For circuit protection, installing the heat sink and the like is needed)
Color temperature of the HID burner decreases.
(Emission light, from pale white, yellow to seductive white change)
Life of the HID burner reduces.
(Pulse voltage of the early illumination time increases due to the fact that, burden to the HID burner increase)
At the time of remodelling, after these demerits understanding well, it is necessary to advance.
[ Remodelling the HID ballast ]
The talent writing we have decided to try remodelling the HID ballast right away with as this extent.
[ Photograph 1 ]
This time you remodel, it is the ballast of DENSO.(Photograph 1)
(Calling DENSO, is not the meaning which DENSO makes, but.)
Alias, "the third generation ballast" is.
Size is 125mm (W) ×81mm (H) ×20mm (D) (excludes the spine).
Item name Item turn
Headlight control computer 85967-xxxxx
[ Photograph 2 ]
It is the connecting cord of the connector attachment.(Photograph 2)
Item name Item turn
Headlight cord/code 81125-xxxxx
[ Photograph 3 ]
By the way, this is the ballast which has been attached to the HID fog lamp of PIAA.(Photograph 3)
(Calling PIAA, is not the meaning which PIAA makes, but.)
Alias, "the second generation ballast" is.
Size is 126mm (W) ×80mm (H) ×42mm (D) (excludes the spine).
Being thick, it is heavy, is. As for weight, there are about 3 times that the aforementioned "third generation ballast", probably will be?
[ Photograph 4 ]
When the ballast the rose is done, it is such feeling.(Photograph 4)
(The あ - the ぁ, and the っ ちゃ っ it is.)
[ Photograph 5 ]
When the cover inside is removed, it is such feeling.(Photograph 5)
The circuit inside, for waterproofing, is sealed with transparent ジェル.
[ Photograph 6 ]
Under the picture central electrolytic condenser, chip resistor has hidden.(Photograph 6)
[ Photograph 7 ]
It moves the foot of the electrolytic condenser, try to be able to access chip resistor.(Photograph 7)
The foot of the condenser being welded and being connected by the terminal.
In order not to snap the foot, using the mini- plier, it moves prudently.
Using the vacuum blower, it absorbs ジェル around.
Intended chip resistor was visible.
[ Photograph 8 ]
Using the diamond bit, it destroys chip resistor.(Photograph 8)
(Why the mosaic catches....)
[ Photograph 9 ]
On the both ends of chip resistor, wiring is soldered.(Photograph 9)
Wiring used the heatproof wire φ 0.32mm.
Because the space is narrow, the special soldering iron and the special flux where the tip of the iron is thin become necessary.
[ Photograph 10 ]
Semi- fixed resistance, is locked inside the ballast.(Photograph 10)
Value of resistance is xxxx [ k Ω ].
In order not to fall off due to the vibration which is in the midst of travelling, using the epoxy adhesive of heat resistance, it locks securely.
[ Photograph 11 ]
In the part which absorbs transparent ジェル, for waterproofing, it fills up silicon.(Photograph 11)
Silicon does not corrode circuit pattern, special ones are used.
[ Photograph 12 ]
Because the calorific value is large, the heat sink is installed.(Photograph 12)
Size is 115mm (W) ×80mm (H) ×37mm (D).
"Conduction of heat silicon" is painted evenly on the contact area of the ballast.
(It is the paste of overdrive conversion of majority CPU.)
It paints the epoxy adhesive of heat resistance in the peripheral section, glues to the ballast.
[ Something between related to output power and luminous intensity ]
In normal condition of the HID ballast, input potential 14.11 [ when V ] was applied, primary voltage 13.71 [ V ], primary current 2.976 [ it became A ]. Because of this, electric power of primary side 40.8 [ becomes W ]. When here, conversion efficiency is done 85%, electric power of downstream (output) 34.7 [ it becomes W, ] it means according to standard of ECE99 to be almost driven.
When changing semi- fixed resistance, relationship between output power and brightness became as follows.
(We borrowed "the light/write tester" for the optical axis adjustment which to the dealer is in measurement of brightness.)

Ratio: When normal condition (35W) designating luminous intensity as 1, ratio
When output power 65 [ is designated as W ], normal condition (35 [ W ]) it understood that you can obtain 2.4 time thing brightness.
Furthermore, this time at the fog lamp it measured brightness, but with "safety standards of the road haulage car 輌", the frontal fog lamp (the fog lamp) as for brightness, per 1 light 10,000 [ cd ] it is decided that it is below, (later description). Therefore, output power 40 [ W ] at the point in time when it makes above, use on the public road becomes impossible.
By the way, when the ballast is operated, the high frequency peculiar sound calling voice like the cicada, "mean" does. Also the sound, which enlarges output voltage following, this "mean" keeps becoming large. Output power 65 [ W ] it may it be possible also the fact that it makes above, is, but because the ヤバイ sound like "calling voice of the cicada which it has been about to enter the time of last moment" has done, the or more of this stops.
[ Brightness at time of output power change ]
When changing output voltage, the difference of brightness is shown. In order for the difference to be easy to understand, it places also the brightness of normal condition.
(Photographing condition) exposure: Manual mode (F2.8×1'), white balance: Fluorescent light mode)
Output power Brightness at time of output power change Normal condition(35W)brightness

65W
It understands that it enlarges output voltage following, becomes bright. Simultaneously, color temperature gradually to be low (yellow) becoming seductive white you understand from pale white.
The case of photographing, in order for brightness there is no サチ and others at the time of 65W, because shutter speed is set, when being 35W, that much the bright way it is visible. But, at the time of 35W it is brightness of normal condition. When you think conversely, at the time of 65W, to tell the truth it means "to be bright outrageously".
Or which extent it is bright, it is uninformed. . . .
For example, we assume that with the signal waiting, you parked along with the car which installs the HID lamp. (As for this we assume. that it has gone out) If with you compare also the car of the appearance, to the halogen lamp, a very brighter light is sent, but when to high wattage the HID lamp which is converted it lights up here. . . .
In brightness of remainder, with light of the car of the appearance shoots the extent and intense light which "is extinguished". (It is the extent which so far this side is designated the shadow which is, as opposite side.) The fact that it lights up on the public road is brightness of the extent which is pulled the air a little. When the HID headlight and the HID fog lamp it lights up simultaneously, the night game it may be possible at 1 unit, is. Just, it runs, "light pollution" is.

[ Being defeated 1 ]"fail-safe function of HID ballast"
The KOITO make HID ballast (the headlight control computer), when abnormality is detected, following kind of fail-safe operation is done. (Why you have known?)
Condition condition The inside permitting/inserting
At the time of output malfunction detection (short circuit opening leak detection) and burner (valve) blinking When abnormality occurs in output voltage or when the burner (the valve) blinking condition continued 60 seconds or more, until illumination of the headlight is discontinued, power source is done reentry (headlight switch ON -> OFF -> ON or ignition switch ON -> OFF -> ON), it continues the state.
At the time of input malfunction detection When input potential operation voltage (9 - 16V) from it comes off, as soon as to discontinue the illumination of the headlight, to return to the operation electric current range it re-lights up the headlight. However, when input potential decreases after the lighting up, until illumination maintenance limited voltage (below 6V) it becomes, it continues illumination.
At the time of lamp voltage malfunction detection When lamp voltage abnormality is detected, until illumination of the headlight is discontinued, power source is done reentry (headlight switch ON -> OFF -> ON or ignition switch ON -> OFF -> ON), it continues the state.
[ Being defeated 2 ]"adjustment method of output power"
With latest DIY, because semi- fixed resistance is installed inside the HID ballast, after installation to the vehicle, it cannot adjust output power.
(Output power, if one time it sets, because it is not something which is adjusted rarely, thinks that it is good being this specification, but.)
It reaches the point where output power can be adjusted optionally by using the following kind of part.
When (it lights up suddenly by Takaide power, because the ballast destruction (the burner explosion) there is a possibility of doing, by all means please make sure to be able to adjust output power.)
[ Photograph 13 ]
(The photograph 13 left), with volume,(the photograph 13 right), it is the rotary switch.
Because it is necessary to adjust the output of the ballast left and right simultaneously, in each case those of 2 circuits are used.
Volume (or the rotary switch) it changes even while travelling it can by installing around the driver's seat the semi- fixed resistance which is installed inside the HID ballast, adjust output power with labor assistant.
As for volume, because value of resistance changes continually by turning the adjustable hub, it is possible to change the brightness of the HID lamp smoothly.
(However, because hardness of the adjustable hub extremely it is the judo pot, touching while travelling absent-mindedly, in order suddenly not to become Takaide power, it is necessary to choose the installation place well.)
As for the rotary switch, because it is possible, to change value of resistance gradually by turning the adjustable hub whether brightness of the HID lamp presently becomes which, it is possible to grasp intuitively know.
It selects (according to the output power where we would like to set the resistance for adjustment, solders between the contact point of the rotary switch. The photograph 12 contact points (adjustment possibility) is the thing in 12 stages.)
We would like to change brightness of the HID lamp, to linear, click click to change would like to the taste adjust and select.
[ Being defeated 3 ]"bypass circuit at time of lead-in wire cutting"
In order volume (or the rotary switch) to install around the driver's seat, from the ballast which is installed in the vehicle front it pulls wiring to the interior and it means to be packed. When here, this lead-in wire is cut off with a some cause, output power of the ballast how becomes, probably will be?
Lead-in wire cutting -> standard resistance XXINF (infinity) -> maximum dissipation
With it becomes, the ballast destruction (the burner explosion) is a possibility of doing.
(Really, because fail-safe function of the ballast works, before destroying, output stops, that it is thought, but.)
Then, it is possible to prevent the destruction of the ballast with the cutting of the lead-in wire by installing the following kind of bypass circuit, beforehand.
[ Figure 4 ]
It is the block diagram of the bypass circuit.(Figure 4)
When it is usual, the resistance which is during intervention pointing (standard resistance) R becomes combined resistance of internal protection resistance Rint and external rheostat Rext (Rint + Rext) with.
(As for internal protection resistance Rint, the ballast smallest output (25W) with, takes in the kind of value which becomes.)
When the lead-in wire is cut off, external rheostat Rext is done the bypass automatically, standard resistance R becomes only internal protection resistance Rint, the ballast is controlled in order to become smallest output.
When high wattage conversion of the HID ballast is done, unless you think to here, fail-safe in true sense you cannot say.
[ Being defeated 4 ]"installation to fog lamp"
With the high wattage conversion of the HID ballast, it could obtain the dramatic light intensity. In order to finish to utilize this light, the lamp unit whose utilization efficiency of light is high becomes necessary.
This time, from sale that time we had decided to have become matter of concern, to use "cobalt super H.I.D ターボジェクター" of PIAA. With the catch copy of PIAA, "being the world highest, it has become the strongest lamp machine".
When it tries probably to buy the full set honestly, also the ¥148,000 does, but this time, as for the ballast and the harness which are included in set it is unnecessary. Then, "with using a certain route", only the projector itself procured (the burner and the installation stay includes).
[ Photograph 14 ]
This time it purchased, "cobalt superH.I.D ターボジェクタ- 999CX " of PIAAis.(Photograph 14)
True to its name, the light of 6,000K is shot to the burner,the "cobalt super H.I.Dvalve " is installed.
As for size φ 90mm×152 (D) (the installation stay and the like is excluded) with, as for light distribution pattern "the fog".

By the way, this is "the projector fog lamp 959" of PIAA.(Photograph 15)
Front car SOARER (JZZ30) it is something which has been attached.
(The craftsman did it meaning that the thing having is good strangely.)
Light of yellow is shot from the lens of the blue.
Sale at that time, it was the catch copy, "worldwide strongest projector".
[ Photograph 16 ]
It is the place where the projector itself was disassembled.(Photograph 16)
In order for light from the burner not to spread to upper half, the sun shade of half moon type is installed in the lens.
As for the reflector, the chord it is with we to do the form which is done, glare light (yellow light) the measure which is prevented is not done.
In addition, the opening of the lens and the reflector opens rather, the light which leaked from this part hits against the housing, has been lost as heat.
"Being the world highest, it has become the strongest lamp machine", still, but now then when it tries disassembling, may be a margin of improvement, is.
[ Photograph 17 ]
It is the place where the projector itself was processed.(Photograph 17)
First, you remove the sun shade foreward the lens, entirely try to be able to project light from the burner to the front.
Next, it quarries out the mirror board of polycarbonate make in the size of 210mm×45mm, inserts inside the housing.
(Heatproof temperature of polycarbonate: Approximately 150 ℃)
Because of this, the opening of the reflector and the lens is gone, utilization efficiency of light furthermore increases.
Furthermore, "the conversion film" for the photographing illumination (later description) it quarries out in the size φ, 54mm installs in the lens.
(Heatproof temperature of conversion film: Approximately 130 ℃)
Because of this, it is possible to revise the color temperature which decreases with high wattage conversion.
[ Photograph 18 ]
It is the place where the burner which administers "non glare processing" is installed in the reflector.(Photograph 18)
Before the processing, brown of the ceramic tube it was and the part reflected and had been visible, but after processing, it is out completely.
[ Photograph 19 ]
(The photograph 19 left), it installed in the lens, the "conversion film" is.
Originally, the case of camera photographing it is something in order to revise the color temperature of illumination light.
This time, color temperature x, xxxK the film which is raised was used.
(The photograph 19 right), it is the burner which administers "non glare processing".
This time, using the heatproof spray, it painted in the silver.
Not only the ceramic tube, also portion of the pedestal is painted.
[ Photograph 20 ]
It is the place where it extended processed the cord/code with the ballast and the connector.(Photograph 20)
In order to lock ターボジェクター in position of the genuine fog lamp, it means to install the ballast in リインホースメント, but the cord/code which has come out of the ballast that way, length is not enough delicately.
Then, the high-tension cable of resisting pressure 30,000V of the Sumitomo electric wire is used, cord/code length is extended in approximately 42cm.
Furthermore, because of electric leakage measure and noise measure, it covers the cord/code with the stain mesh, unites securely with tie-up.
Furthermore, as for the connector, it is exchanged to those where the ターボジェクター private waterproof gasket is attached.

It was possible to be able recognize clearly even with the sign ahead several 100m to high wattage by combining with the HID ballast which is converted and the projector lamp which was processed, just the ideal driving lamp to build up. .
(However, because the absolute light intensity and light distribution pattern has changed, there is a possibility glaringly of giving going astray to the oncoming car, use on the public road becomes impossible.) (Later description)
C.A. You call to the wind when,
When "with the high-speed gulf line, compound eye ARISTO of the thing enormous light intensity approaches from back, the road please can be less crowded rapidly. "
With it becomes the feeling which is said, probably will be?
[ Being defeated 5 ]"the standard regarding the frontal fog lamp"
Chasing after just the light intensity "random," it is not wise, because, because of sense, the frontal fog lamp (the fog lamp) you will verify the standard regarding.
Safety standards of road haulage vehicle(excerpt)
1951 July 28th transport Ministerial ordinance 67th number
Last amendment: 2003 July seventh national traffic Ministerial ordinance 81st number
(Frontal fog lamp)
It is possible on the front of the 30th Sanjo automobile to have the frontal fog lamp.
2 frontal fog lamps suitable is adjusted must be something which in the standard which is decided in notification in regard to the color and brightness etc. of light light.
As for 3 frontal fog lamps, way the efficiency is not ruined, at the same time, in order to conform to the standard which is decided in notification in regard to installation position and installation method etc., you must be installed.
(The frontal fog lampit includes) the standard such asheadlamp regarding
It is not something of the structure which 3 or more lights up simultaneously.
The light firing line is something which does not obstruct the traffic of other things. However, 3. And 4. When the frontal fog lamp is installed other than the installation position which is shown, description below going astray prevention standard is applied glaringly.
Height of the upper edge of the illumination section below terrestrial 0.8m, in order below the horizontal plane which includes the upper edge of the illumination section of headlamp for passing each other, for height of the sill to be above terrestrial 0.25m, it is installed.
The outermost edge of the illumination section is installed, in order to be within 400mm from outermost side of the automobile.
Color of light light white, or is light yellow, the everything of that is identical.
The frontal fog lamp is left and right same number and (excludes the case where it has 1 frontal fog lamp), at the same time the front being some which are prepared for the automobile which is left and right symmetrical, it is the attachment in symmetrical position vis-a-vis the vehicle central surface.
The trap where as for the installation section, direction of the illumination light ray vibrates, comes easily due to impact and the like it is and it is structure.
(2005 as for the car which after November 22nd is produced only description above application)
It is glaring going astray prevention standard
With those outside the above-mentioned installation range the production car to 2005 November 22nd is good even with the below-mentioned old standard.

As for DIY which is introduced here, because remodelling the HID ballast itself is done, when 10001 it breaks and, as for guarantee of the manufacturer it is not received even with when trouble occurs. In addition, because high tension (approximately 25,000V) remodelling the circuit which occurs is done, there is danger such as electric shock and vehicle fire.
Remodelling the result of doing, this one does not owe all responsibility even with when by any chance a some accident and damage etc. occur on the basis of the information which is introduced here. When you remodel, please go on all your own responsibilities.
[ In beginning ]
Well, "it shines and it is the craftsman of the thing maniac", but more and more foot was set in "the territory of withdrawal".
At part, you think that also the one which you know comes, but "high wattage conversion" of the HID burner is done. "Palenessconversion of the previous withHID burner ", the HID burner to be pale is made (pure white) the match which was done, but latest DIY remodels the HID ballast, does the attempt which makes the light intensity increase which is emitted dramatically.
Furthermore, concerning latest DIY,
1. Because there is danger such as electric shock and vehicle fire,
2. In order to prevent the fact that it is used surreptitiously intended because of trading
The detailed information which becomes necessary for remodelling it does not release. Because, concerning the essential part we do not answer altogether even on the bulletin board, please acknowledge beforehand.
In addition, this it is the same as other DIY, but concerning latest DIY, because it does not do trust production, please acknowledge together.
As described to also beginning, latest DIY, dramatic increase of the light intensity accompanies big risk exchange. Knowledge and the experience which are sufficient for the circuit the one which is not having recommends that the hand is not produced.

[ Concerning the HID ballast ]
The HID ballast is the unit which controls the illumination of the HID lamp. The origin of a word is derived from "Ballast" of the weight which is installed in the ship's bottom of the boat. You installed in the ship's bottom of the boat, from the fact that attitude is made to stabilize, the meaning, "thing which is made to stabilize" derived. When the fluorescent light appears in world, from the fact that the ballast is designated the ballast, in the world of the illumination, it is used in the sense, ballast = ballast.
[ Figure 1 ]
It is the block diagram of the ballast.(Figure 1)
The ballast is formed, supplies electric power to the lamp "the invertor" (INV) with, makes the lamp start "the igniter" (IGN) from.
(Illumination system)
With the stipulation of ECE99, as for rated lamp voltage of the HID lamp, it has become 85V. In order generally, to maintain the discharge of the HID lamp, the power supply voltage which is higher than lamp voltage becomes necessary. But, as for the battery of the automobile, because usually it is 12V, the illumination circuit which has boosting action (the invertor) becomes necessary in the HID ballast.
With the invertor illumination of the fluorescent light, makes light up "high frequency illumination system" is used in the frequency domain of number 10kHz. However, when the HID lamp is made to light up with this system, acoustic resonance phenomenon occurs, there are times when trouble such as flicker flame failure lamp destruction occurs. Because of this, when the HID lamp is made to light up, illumination frequency number 100Hz is low, acoustic resonance phenomenon is used does not occur "frequency rectangular wave illumination system low".
(Starting system)
In order to make the HID lamp light up, impressing high tension between the electrode, it is necessary to make sever relations to make destroy, to make discharge start. Because of this, the starting circuit which generates the pulse of high tension (the igniter) becomes necessary in the HID ballast.
In the igniter which is used with the general lighting, generating the pulse voltage 2,000 - 5,000V, you make the HID lamp start. But, at this pulse voltage, until the HID lamp is made to restart, the waiting which is suitable becomes necessary, it is not possible in the headlight of the automobile to apply. Because of this, pulse voltage is raised to approximately 25,000V, restarting possible system is used instantaneously.
Furthermore, with the stipulation of ECE99, 100% it does the luminous flux when stabilizing, after the starting 25% luminous flux, it is necessary to obtain 80% luminous flux in 4 seconds in 1 second. Because of this, even from at the time of rated illumination lamp voltage and it is necessary to increase lamp electric current substantially in the fixed time from immediately after the starting the HID lamp. As for this, there is no general lighting, it becomes HID ballast individual prerequisite.
[ Figure 2 ]
It is the block diagram of the invertor circuit.(Figure 2)
The invertor circuit is formed, adjusts the electric power which from direct voltage source is supplied to the lamp the "electrical adjustment circuit" (BLS) with, low converts electric power to frequency rectangular wave voltage electric current "direct current - the rectangular wave converting circuit" (controls SQR), and these the "control circuit" (CTR) from.
In the electrical adjustment circuit BLS, direct voltage source V1, is converted to the direct current voltage V2 which is necessary for the illumination of the HID lamp DL which is load. Direct current - in the rectangular wave converting circuit SQR, it converts V2 to frequency rectangular wave voltage VL low by changing ON/OFF state to high speed making use of the switching element, supplies to DL.
[ Figure 3 ]
It is the block diagram of the control circuit of lamp electric power.(Figure 3)
The control circuit is formed, the "voltage detector" (VDT), the "electric current detector" (IDT), the "target electrical generator" (WREF), the "division vessel" (DIV), the "error amplifier" (EA), and the "pulse width modulator" (PWM) from.
(Power control method)
In the control circuit, in order the HID lamp stability to make light up by electric power, it detects lamp voltage and lamp electric current, in order to become electric power of goal, closed-loop control.
Operation of the control circuit is as follows.
From output from of the electrical adjustment circuit BLS, V2 which is suitable to lamp voltage and I2 which is suitable to lamp electric current, are detected with the respective voltage detector VDT and electric current detector IDT, voltage signal VVL and electric current signal VIL are obtained.
It generates target electric power VWR with target electrical generator, WREF excluding VWR with VVL due to division vessel, DIV it obtains target electric current signal VIR.
The error signal VER of VIL and VIR is sought with error amplifier EA, the duty ratio of BLS is adjusted with pulse width modulator PWM.
In the time of rated illumination, VWR where WREF occurs is one fixed-command of 35W. However, in order to start luminous flux quickly in when starting the HID lamp, as the voltage which is higher than rating is given, time elapses following, in order to keep becoming one fixed-command, VWR is controlled. Because of this, it is possible to make the luminous flux startup stipulation satisfy which is ECE99, in the time of lamp starting.
Furthermore, when such as passing several seconds HID lamps are short, at the are made to restart curfew period whose, because there is a state where lamp temperature is very high, when the excessive electric power which is similar to the initial start-up is given, immediately after the restarting excessive light is generated, the big damage is given to the arc tube and the electrode. In order to avoid this, at the time of restarting, lamp temperature is presumed according to illumination time, the device which changes VWR appropriately has done.
[ Method of high wattage conversion ]
The aforementioned sort, as for output of the HID ballast, in order to become normal rated power by the control circuit CTR, it understood that being fed back and being controlled. In order here, to obtain the output above rating, if how it does, it is good, probably will be?
First, you can think the method of raising target electric power VWR as the simplest method. In addition, target electric power VWR without changing, voltage signal of the electrical adjustment circuit BLS or electric current signal VIL, lower than fact can think also the method of camouflaging VVL. Or, target electric current signal also the method of raising VIR or error signal VER is thought.
This time, in regard to circuit constitution, by the fact that xxxx value is modified, we have decided to raise output above rating.
[ The demerit due to high wattage conversion ]
Not only the merit in high wattage conversion, naturally, also demerit exists.
The demerit due to high wattage conversion is as follows.
With the increase of electric power consumption, burden to the battery expands.
(The same electric power consumption as halogen lamp)
Depending upon the increase of the calorific value, heat shield heat dissipation measure becomes necessary.
(For circuit protection, installing the heat sink and the like is needed)
Color temperature of the HID burner decreases.
(Emission light, from pale white, yellow to seductive white change)
Life of the HID burner reduces.
(Pulse voltage of the early illumination time increases due to the fact that, burden to the HID burner increase)
At the time of remodelling, after these demerits understanding well, it is necessary to advance.
[ Remodelling the HID ballast ]
The talent writing we have decided to try remodelling the HID ballast right away with as this extent.
[ Photograph 1 ]
This time you remodel, it is the ballast of DENSO.(Photograph 1)
(Calling DENSO, is not the meaning which DENSO makes, but.)
Alias, "the third generation ballast" is.
Size is 125mm (W) ×81mm (H) ×20mm (D) (excludes the spine).
Item name Item turn

[ Photograph 2 ]
It is the connecting cord of the connector attachment.(Photograph 2)

[ Photograph 3 ]
By the way, this is the ballast which has been attached to the HID fog lamp of PIAA.(Photograph 3)
(Calling PIAA, is not the meaning which PIAA makes, but.)
Alias, "the second generation ballast" is.
Size is 126mm (W) ×80mm (H) ×42mm (D) (excludes the spine).
Being thick, it is heavy, is. As for weight, there are about 3 times that the aforementioned "third generation ballast", probably will be?
[ Photograph 4 ]
When the ballast the rose is done, it is such feeling.(Photograph 4)
(The あ - the ぁ, and the っ ちゃ っ it is.)
[ Photograph 5 ]
When the cover inside is removed, it is such feeling.(Photograph 5)
The circuit inside, for waterproofing, is sealed with transparent ジェル.
[ Photograph 6 ]
Under the picture central electrolytic condenser, chip resistor has hidden.(Photograph 6)
[ Photograph 7 ]
It moves the foot of the electrolytic condenser, try to be able to access chip resistor.(Photograph 7)
The foot of the condenser being welded and being connected by the terminal.
In order not to snap the foot, using the mini- plier, it moves prudently.
Using the vacuum blower, it absorbs ジェル around.
Intended chip resistor was visible.
[ Photograph 8 ]
Using the diamond bit, it destroys chip resistor.(Photograph 8)
(Why the mosaic catches....)
[ Photograph 9 ]
On the both ends of chip resistor, wiring is soldered.(Photograph 9)
Wiring used the heatproof wire φ 0.32mm.
Because the space is narrow, the special soldering iron and the special flux where the tip of the iron is thin become necessary.
[ Photograph 10 ]
Semi- fixed resistance, is locked inside the ballast.(Photograph 10)
Value of resistance is xxxx [ k Ω ].
In order not to fall off due to the vibration which is in the midst of travelling, using the epoxy adhesive of heat resistance, it locks securely.
[ Photograph 11 ]
In the part which absorbs transparent ジェル, for waterproofing, it fills up silicon.(Photograph 11)
Silicon does not corrode circuit pattern, special ones are used.
[ Photograph 12 ]
Because the calorific value is large, the heat sink is installed.(Photograph 12)
Size is 115mm (W) ×80mm (H) ×37mm (D).
"Conduction of heat silicon" is painted evenly on the contact area of the ballast.
(It is the paste of overdrive conversion of majority CPU.)
It paints the epoxy adhesive of heat resistance in the peripheral section, glues to the ballast.
[ Something between related to output power and luminous intensity ]
In normal condition of the HID ballast, input potential 14.11 [ when V ] was applied, primary voltage 13.71 [ V ], primary current 2.976 [ it became A ]. Because of this, electric power of primary side 40.8 [ becomes W ]. When here, conversion efficiency is done 85%, electric power of downstream (output) 34.7 [ it becomes W, ] it means according to standard of ECE99 to be almost driven.
When changing semi- fixed resistance, relationship between output power and brightness became as follows.
(We borrowed "the light/write tester" for the optical axis adjustment which to the dealer is in measurement of brightness.)

Ratio: When normal condition (35W) designating luminous intensity as 1, ratio
When output power 65 [ is designated as W ], normal condition (35 [ W ]) it understood that you can obtain 2.4 time thing brightness.
Furthermore, this time at the fog lamp it measured brightness, but with "safety standards of the road haulage car 輌", the frontal fog lamp (the fog lamp) as for brightness, per 1 light 10,000 [ cd ] it is decided that it is below, (later description). Therefore, output power 40 [ W ] at the point in time when it makes above, use on the public road becomes impossible.
By the way, when the ballast is operated, the high frequency peculiar sound calling voice like the cicada, "mean" does. Also the sound, which enlarges output voltage following, this "mean" keeps becoming large. Output power 65 [ W ] it may it be possible also the fact that it makes above, is, but because the ヤバイ sound like "calling voice of the cicada which it has been about to enter the time of last moment" has done, the or more of this stops.
[ Brightness at time of output power change ]
When changing output voltage, the difference of brightness is shown. In order for the difference to be easy to understand, it places also the brightness of normal condition.
(Photographing condition) exposure: Manual mode (F2.8×1'), white balance: Fluorescent light mode)

It understands that it enlarges output voltage following, becomes bright. Simultaneously, color temperature gradually to be low (yellow) becoming seductive white you understand from pale white.
The case of photographing, in order for brightness there is no サチ and others at the time of 65W, because shutter speed is set, when being 35W, that much the bright way it is visible. But, at the time of 35W it is brightness of normal condition. When you think conversely, at the time of 65W, to tell the truth it means "to be bright outrageously".
Or which extent it is bright, it is uninformed. . . .
For example, we assume that with the signal waiting, you parked along with the car which installs the HID lamp. (As for this we assume. that it has gone out) If with you compare also the car of the appearance, to the halogen lamp, a very brighter light is sent, but when to high wattage the HID lamp which is converted it lights up here. . . .
In brightness of remainder, with light of the car of the appearance shoots the extent and intense light which "is extinguished". (It is the extent which so far this side is designated the shadow which is, as opposite side.) The fact that it lights up on the public road is brightness of the extent which is pulled the air a little. When the HID headlight and the HID fog lamp it lights up simultaneously, the night game it may be possible at 1 unit, is. Just, it runs, "light pollution" is.

[ Being defeated 1 ]"fail-safe function of HID ballast"
The KOITO make HID ballast (the headlight control computer), when abnormality is detected, following kind of fail-safe operation is done. (Why you have known?)
Condition condition The inside permitting/inserting
At the time of output malfunction detection (short circuit opening leak detection) and burner (valve) blinking When abnormality occurs in output voltage or when the burner (the valve) blinking condition continued 60 seconds or more, until illumination of the headlight is discontinued, power source is done reentry (headlight switch ON -> OFF -> ON or ignition switch ON -> OFF -> ON), it continues the state.
At the time of input malfunction detection When input potential operation voltage (9 - 16V) from it comes off, as soon as to discontinue the illumination of the headlight, to return to the operation electric current range it re-lights up the headlight. However, when input potential decreases after the lighting up, until illumination maintenance limited voltage (below 6V) it becomes, it continues illumination.
At the time of lamp voltage malfunction detection When lamp voltage abnormality is detected, until illumination of the headlight is discontinued, power source is done reentry (headlight switch ON -> OFF -> ON or ignition switch ON -> OFF -> ON), it continues the state.
[ Being defeated 2 ]"adjustment method of output power"
With latest DIY, because semi- fixed resistance is installed inside the HID ballast, after installation to the vehicle, it cannot adjust output power.
(Output power, if one time it sets, because it is not something which is adjusted rarely, thinks that it is good being this specification, but.)
It reaches the point where output power can be adjusted optionally by using the following kind of part.
When (it lights up suddenly by Takaide power, because the ballast destruction (the burner explosion) there is a possibility of doing, by all means please make sure to be able to adjust output power.)
[ Photograph 13 ]
(The photograph 13 left), with volume,(the photograph 13 right), it is the rotary switch.
Because it is necessary to adjust the output of the ballast left and right simultaneously, in each case those of 2 circuits are used.
Volume (or the rotary switch) it changes even while travelling it can by installing around the driver's seat the semi- fixed resistance which is installed inside the HID ballast, adjust output power with labor assistant.
As for volume, because value of resistance changes continually by turning the adjustable hub, it is possible to change the brightness of the HID lamp smoothly.
(However, because hardness of the adjustable hub extremely it is the judo pot, touching while travelling absent-mindedly, in order suddenly not to become Takaide power, it is necessary to choose the installation place well.)
As for the rotary switch, because it is possible, to change value of resistance gradually by turning the adjustable hub whether brightness of the HID lamp presently becomes which, it is possible to grasp intuitively know.
It selects (according to the output power where we would like to set the resistance for adjustment, solders between the contact point of the rotary switch. The photograph 12 contact points (adjustment possibility) is the thing in 12 stages.)
We would like to change brightness of the HID lamp, to linear, click click to change would like to the taste adjust and select.
[ Being defeated 3 ]"bypass circuit at time of lead-in wire cutting"
In order volume (or the rotary switch) to install around the driver's seat, from the ballast which is installed in the vehicle front it pulls wiring to the interior and it means to be packed. When here, this lead-in wire is cut off with a some cause, output power of the ballast how becomes, probably will be?
Lead-in wire cutting -> standard resistance XXINF (infinity) -> maximum dissipation
With it becomes, the ballast destruction (the burner explosion) is a possibility of doing.
(Really, because fail-safe function of the ballast works, before destroying, output stops, that it is thought, but.)
Then, it is possible to prevent the destruction of the ballast with the cutting of the lead-in wire by installing the following kind of bypass circuit, beforehand.
[ Figure 4 ]
It is the block diagram of the bypass circuit.(Figure 4)
When it is usual, the resistance which is during intervention pointing (standard resistance) R becomes combined resistance of internal protection resistance Rint and external rheostat Rext (Rint + Rext) with.
(As for internal protection resistance Rint, the ballast smallest output (25W) with, takes in the kind of value which becomes.)
When the lead-in wire is cut off, external rheostat Rext is done the bypass automatically, standard resistance R becomes only internal protection resistance Rint, the ballast is controlled in order to become smallest output.
When high wattage conversion of the HID ballast is done, unless you think to here, fail-safe in true sense you cannot say.
[ Being defeated 4 ]"installation to fog lamp"
With the high wattage conversion of the HID ballast, it could obtain the dramatic light intensity. In order to finish to utilize this light, the lamp unit whose utilization efficiency of light is high becomes necessary.
This time, from sale that time we had decided to have become matter of concern, to use "cobalt super H.I.D ターボジェクター" of PIAA. With the catch copy of PIAA, "being the world highest, it has become the strongest lamp machine".
When it tries probably to buy the full set honestly, also the ¥148,000 does, but this time, as for the ballast and the harness which are included in set it is unnecessary. Then, "with using a certain route", only the projector itself procured (the burner and the installation stay includes).
[ Photograph 14 ]
This time it purchased, "cobalt superH.I.D ターボジェクタ- 999CX " of PIAAis.(Photograph 14)
True to its name, the light of 6,000K is shot to the burner,the "cobalt super H.I.Dvalve " is installed.

By the way, this is "the projector fog lamp 959" of PIAA.(Photograph 15)
Front car SOARER (JZZ30) it is something which has been attached.
(The craftsman did it meaning that the thing having is good strangely.)
Light of yellow is shot from the lens of the blue.
Sale at that time, it was the catch copy, "worldwide strongest projector".
[ Photograph 16 ]
It is the place where the projector itself was disassembled.(Photograph 16)
In order for light from the burner not to spread to upper half, the sun shade of half moon type is installed in the lens.
As for the reflector, the chord it is with we to do the form which is done, glare light (yellow light) the measure which is prevented is not done.
In addition, the opening of the lens and the reflector opens rather, the light which leaked from this part hits against the housing, has been lost as heat.
"Being the world highest, it has become the strongest lamp machine", still, but now then when it tries disassembling, may be a margin of improvement, is.
[ Photograph 17 ]
It is the place where the projector itself was processed.(Photograph 17)
First, you remove the sun shade foreward the lens, entirely try to be able to project light from the burner to the front.
Next, it quarries out the mirror board of polycarbonate make in the size of 210mm×45mm, inserts inside the housing.
(Heatproof temperature of polycarbonate: Approximately 150 ℃)
Because of this, the opening of the reflector and the lens is gone, utilization efficiency of light furthermore increases.
Furthermore, "the conversion film" for the photographing illumination (later description) it quarries out in the size φ, 54mm installs in the lens.
(Heatproof temperature of conversion film: Approximately 130 ℃)
Because of this, it is possible to revise the color temperature which decreases with high wattage conversion.
[ Photograph 18 ]
It is the place where the burner which administers "non glare processing" is installed in the reflector.(Photograph 18)
Before the processing, brown of the ceramic tube it was and the part reflected and had been visible, but after processing, it is out completely.

Originally, the case of camera photographing it is something in order to revise the color temperature of illumination light.
This time, color temperature x, xxxK the film which is raised was used.

It is the place where it extended processed the cord/code with the ballast and the connector.(Photograph 20)
In order to lock ターボジェクター in position of the genuine fog lamp, it means to install the ballast in リインホースメント, but the cord/code which has come out of the ballast that way, length is not enough delicately.
Then, the high-tension cable of resisting pressure 30,000V of the Sumitomo electric wire is used, cord/code length is extended in approximately 42cm.
Furthermore, because of electric leakage measure and noise measure, it covers the cord/code with the stain mesh, unites securely with tie-up.
Furthermore, as for the connector, it is exchanged to those where the ターボジェクター private waterproof gasket is attached.

It was possible to be able recognize clearly even with the sign ahead several 100m to high wattage by combining with the HID ballast which is converted and the projector lamp which was processed, just the ideal driving lamp to build up. .
(However, because the absolute light intensity and light distribution pattern has changed, there is a possibility glaringly of giving going astray to the oncoming car, use on the public road becomes impossible.) (Later description)
C.A. You call to the wind when,
When "with the high-speed gulf line, compound eye ARISTO of the thing enormous light intensity approaches from back, the road please can be less crowded rapidly. "
With it becomes the feeling which is said, probably will be?
[ Being defeated 5 ]"the standard regarding the frontal fog lamp"
Chasing after just the light intensity "random," it is not wise, because, because of sense, the frontal fog lamp (the fog lamp) you will verify the standard regarding.
Safety standards of road haulage vehicle(excerpt)

Last night I made some more progress... I removed the "chip of resistance" as Soaristo says.
I used a dremel with a diamond engraving bit. I used the small round ball for the rough work and the thin pointy tip to clean up the rest. This is very technical detail oriented work. It's like micro surgery basically. I used my microscope to view the resistor after grinding it to make sure i got it all and not to damage the circuit board. I'm going to provide this as a service to others after I finish my first one. Doing it yourself you could mess up a 100 dollar ballast in a hurry.
Now I have to get solder which is .32mm solder, special flux, a 1mm tip for the soldering iron, some special heat proof epoxy and special silicone. Then I'll have my variable resistor installed and ready to test... Anyone have a resistance value for me? Bathiew did you look at the pinout of your potentiometer to see which resistance value is needed yet?

Maybe it would of been handy to test the resistor before destroying it 
I think he said the higher resistance = more output. So I guess you would start with something very low to prevent blowing up the ballast/bulb. If you have another ballast, you might pop it open and try to see if you can get the part number on that resistor and look it up online. I'm getting my pair of Koito ballasts in this week. If the part number doesnt work out, I will try to desolder the resistor with some microscopic tools i have. Hopefully I can make some progress on this. But better yet, you guys that have done this mod....throw us a bone here.

One of you enterprising guys should market either a kit with a two position switch or a pre-wired ballast setup that is ready to install. Talk about your "group buys" this would be a natural. I got a headache from trying to read that translation

Hey for whoever is still interested in doing this mod...I still need to get to work on it.
Anyways, I got some numbers for the resistance values. These are what it should be. Don't blame me if the ballast or bulb catches fire or explodes
Approx:
35W 14.7V 2.38A .829KΩ
40W 14.7V 2.72A .972KΩ
45W 14.7V 3.06A 1.15KΩ
50W 14.7V 3.40A 1.43KΩ
55W 14.7V 3.74A 1.64KΩ
60W 14.7V 4.08A 1.923KΩ
65W 14.7V 4.42A 2.24KΩ
70W 14.7V 4.76A 2.66KΩ
