What's the H1/H7 to 9006 adapter?

Is that so you could run H1/H7 bulbs? Or so you could run 9006 bulbs?

Do I just ignore it? It's 8.00.

Ive got the 55 watt, if i did it again i would go with 35watt, I had problems with the slim ballast the raptor ballast seem to work better, I bought the harness, and i think its a good idea to get it.

I think it's just personal preference. The slim ballast is basically the same thing just smaller for tighter spaces, which on our trucks it's no big deal as we're not hurtin for space. I just ordered 35 watt 5000k's for my lo/hi/fog last Friday and my shipping info says they're coming from china so be prepared to wait..

I liked my ddm lights, just don't use the two way tape that comes with the kit, they will fall off. I just tucked mine away in the fender nicely.

Dude that sounds like the way to go. So I would just order 2 sets?

I was planning on the raptor kit. I'm not hardpressed for space or anything.
