I'm considering putting these on a Yamaha FJR. I'm curious why I see some lights come with ballast and others do not but are plug and play.

Basically they fit directly in the light socket like the stock bulbs and come with a transformer for the bulb and fan. It comes with two and as an added bonus, it takes away the engine code you might get with just the bulb.

I believe the reason for the ballast is to control the voltage to eliminate flickering. Plus I think it's a transformer for the fan and eliminates engine codes.

the new style has built in ballast and cooling fins instead of fans.. they all should be plug and play

These lights are single element bulbs. Turn signal only. They have two wires because the socket isn't grounded. It sounds like your Suzuki needs a dual element bulb. Signal and marker light.

Sorry Robert, I don't know about a ballast. Purchased the extra bulb from Amazon, have not encountered the ballast issue. Good luck.

i purchased the smoked lights. it is plug and play. all internal wiring is there. I had to buy new turn signals. the old one in my old lights will not work and you will need 2 peanut style bulbs. The new housing does come with new head lights but i had to replace them due to they are not strong enough to shine though the smoked lenses. I also had to add fog lights to see at night.

This ballast could be made to work with wiring modification for power and adapters for the headlamp bulbs you have. Definitely not "plug and play".

Ballasts do not determine kelvin temperature (or the color of the light)......it's the bulbs :-)

Housing is likely too small and can't accommodate. I did LED fogs that were 6000k to match the color. Brand is xenon depot and I got them from kbcarstuff.com. No ballast or anything like that to install. Just a bulb. Better in my opinion for the fogs. HID in the fogs would be crazy bright almost blinding.

No you have to order the ballast that run the lights seperate they don't cone with the kit and then u have to run all the wires and the kit connects to the batterie and the existing headlight plug but its pretty simple and the finished product is worth the work.

I am not sure if they also come in a kit. We bought them to replace ballasts from another manufacturer that didn't produce enough power to light the bulbs to their full potential. These ballasts are vast improvement and have worked well for the last year.

Not sure does your cfl have a built in ballast. I tried plugging in my bulb but no light. Turns out the bulb I had didn't have any electronics inside like most standard cfls

The Ballast will work with but if the plug doesn't fit they have an adapt for them. the adapters are only less than $10.00.. They make 2 different ballasts one is magnetic and this one is electronic... you just need the adapter if you have the magnetic mogul light socket. Hope I answered your Question..

Daniel: please read the review I wrote on December 6 2011 "Excellent electronic ballast for one F40/F34 T12". It describes the slight difference in wiring that I encountered on that installation and the wiring conventions I followed. Perhaps it will help.

Yes. However, the ballasts themselves are terrible and will die after a few days if you're lucky enough for them to work out of the box. Customer support is nonexistent. Do not buy this product.

The ballasts themselves will guard against flickering. More than likely the stock/oem bulbs used more power than these HIDs would. I know the load dropped considerably since my lights used to dim when my sound system played bassy songs whereas with the HIDs it doesnt anymore.

I would recommend this ballast to anyone. Never have had a problem with them.

If this is a new install, your going to need the ballast for each light. I had to return and purchase the conversion kit by the same brand. I think I paid 50 bucks, note the instructions are worthless and in a foreign language. I found out after a while of messing with them that the retaining ring DOES come off. The conversion kit is a plug and play. Comes with both HID lamps,ballast and harness.

Yes. My friend bought them for his Rubi and they are plug and play. Super easy to install and look great.
