Revised HID question, do the digital ballasts still require a resistor?
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.
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.
