did a search and nothing came up

i remember when i installed my prolumen kit i had ignitors with my kit. ive seen this with a few newer kits and two of my friends.... there is no ignitor, the headlight plug just goes straight to the ballast then to the bulb.

what is the difference?

thanks

maybe the ignitor is built into the ballast on some?

maybe, but my ignitor unit is almost the same size as the ballast... my friend's ballast is the same size as mine... maybe though.

there are a lot of kits out there with the igniter built in with the ballast....xtec is a good example.

i had a kit without an ignitor and now the prolumen one with I believe that it charges the energy in the ignitor first then goes to the ballast this way drawing less power from your car to power up the HIDS
I could be wrong but thats my 2cents and it makes sense atleast to me anyways

one problem with ignitors is finding a damn spot to put them.. one of mine aren't mounted since it gets in the way of my hood holder thingy mabobber
