Reason I ask.

For years I've had the non digital (analog?) ballasts for everything, fog and HL, and over time they've gone bad. While doing some diags on my last bad ballast resistor I bypassed the resistor and everything seems to work hunky dorey. The headlamp housings do not pop up when I put the fog lights on like they used to. Perhaps the digital ballasts resolved some current draw issue on the circuit that was present before? Just curious if the newer digital ballast technology has done away w/ the resistor.

Thanks much,

Dave

Anyone?

I use DDM tuning kit(best on the market for the money IMO) I use this for the lights to work normal where I don't have to hit the highs to turn them off..It's plug and play and about 7 bucks shipped from ebay. I stopped messing around with other crap..

My question isn't about buying a harness to correct a problem. My question is, do the digital ballasts finally do away w/ the large inline resistor for headlight bucking issues when fog lights are on? I had analog ballasts years ago and have finally replaced them all w/ digital. Now my headlight buckets do not lift when fogs are on like they used to.

Thanks

My 55 watt ballasts do not need the resistor but with my old 35 watt ballasts I had to put the high beams on for the lights to close.

Your lights may draw enough power now for the car to think all is well

That seems odd. I'd think the non digital ballasts would draw much more current than a digital ballast. Maybe I'm thinking about this all wrong?
