Did you use a harness and relay to power them up directly to the battery or did you run the through the euroswitch? Can you provide details how you wired them up? If you sued relays, where did you locate the relays?
I have just bought some as well and I am trying to decide the best way to wire them up.
tnx
The Depo headlights came WITH a wire harness, which included a relay of course. I was gladly surprised. I used the supplied wiring harness and relay as a simple PnP, just added an HID kit instead of halogen low-beams. I opted for the slim ballast design; these fit inside of the headlight housing and the covers do their job properly: no fogging!
The wiring harness was a little longer than I needed, haven't cut it yet, but I may end up doing so to shorten it. As it is, it is mostly hidden out of view right under the metal edge of the hood latch base. Zipties are your friend.
For the fogs, I use the repair wires to run wiring from my Euroswitch to the first headlight harness, then spliced in another wire and ran it across to the other headlight harness. Since I already have a relay controlling/protecting everything else, I didn't use one for the fogs. Still, the fogs turn off as supposed to, with high beams on. Wiring is hidden as close to stock location, i.e. under battery box and along that plastic "spine". Works great and looks good. Good luck with your install, i'll try to post some pics of the end-result.
