Is there instuctions on how to install them? Do I have to remove the old ballast?

You don't have to, but it can get in the way. You have to wire around them if you leave them in the fixture. Hot to switch to red on led, black out of led to ground, all assuming you have 12 volts feeding your fixture.

you will have to bypass ballast completely, especially if installing more then one, mine included instructions

Yes, you do have to wire around old ballast. It is no longer needed. I was able to plug the new ones right into the existing switch. Instructions were included. The first one took awhile to figure out because I did not want to damage anything. The next 6 lights were a breeze. One of the best things I've done to our motorhome. It seems we were always buying new bulbs and had one or two out. One bulb per fixture is OK. In some rooms I have two per fixture. Wifes bathroom where she wants more light. Have had them for 2-3 years no problem. Total of 12 bulbs in 8 fixtures. They work great. A little expensive compared to old tube replacements but haven't replaced any either. Would highly recommend these. Yes, you do have to wire around old ballast. It is no longer needed. I was able to plug the new ones right into the existing switch. Instructions were included.

install is easy you do not have to remove the ballast but you do not need it and it makes install easier the end with the wires goes to power 110 volts

I don't recall seeing any installation instructions, I looked them up on the internet. You do not have to remove the ballast, but I recall you must bypass it.

One ballast. You will need to purchase two (one for each bulb) It's worth it, they work as well as oem. Try to fit some lenses as well, for a nice clean beam cut-off.

You don't. Throw them away and buy something else. I tried with no luck. 55w ballasts are notorious for burning up and causing problems. Go with 50-80watt crew led bulbs or 35watt hids

No they do not come with detailed instructions. If you use these in a double florescent tube fixture replace both not just one. What you will notice is the if you just replace the florescent tubes with out breaking the jumper connection at the end opposite of the switch they will not work. The wires may get hot. So make sure you remove the ballast and cut the red jumper between the tube sockets at the end opposite the switch Then connect the black wire to those coming in to the fixture (ground or negative) and the red wire from the switch. They work very well I wish I had replaced the tubes with these long ago. No they do not come with detailed instructions.

Yes, ballast, bulbs, and OEM connections, but the ballast needs a soecial installation

there are plugs that go where your old headlights went but that goes into like a ballast box and then there are plugs from that the go to the bulbs that slide in the same place your original bulbs did. Look on ddmtuning.com they are cheaper and better quality

Depending on the fixture you are installing this in, you may have to remove the ballast since none is needed first and get new clips to install the light bulb. I bought a second set of bulbs and they are different than the first I had ordered and can not work in my existing fixture without a major overhaul of it. It shouldn't take more than 30 - 60 mins per fixture if you have to hire an electrician to come in and retro fit the bulb to your light fixture. I wish you luck. For the price of the bulbs it is so worth it. Good Luck

Your existing fixtures work. However they have to be required. I have two types and each set has its own special wiring... And will not work with fl ballast.

CHECK all cords make sure you have right power and switched right then 100%to start.If that don't work send ballast back. they have bin really good replacing bad or defective.

No. It is LED's. Thre is no ballast as the original had. Much brighter and easy to install.

I don't know. You will need to look at the existing ballast for a number, then go to the site and search for that number. Any substitutes or the original should be shown. Hope this helps.

Yes it's ok just use the harness that comes with lights.ballast take full power at startup n much less when the lights get full heat about 20-30 seconds later. If only one light turns on the first time you need better power input to the ballast.

Same way as a standard bulb... detach oem bulb. Plug slim ballast in it's place.. then connect hid bulb to ballast... simple..once u physically see it it's all self explanatory. .

I had the same problem and now cannot find a replacement ballast, not sure what else it is. Electrician installed so I keep trying to see if a recall on ballast.

Yes you'll need 2 ballast one for each light, If you check Amazon site there are packages that contain the ballast and bulbs together.

Good Question...This unit is riveted....no screws.I'm not taking mine apart to try and access the ballast. If youhave a ballast problem... my opinion is, seek out the manufacturer or MacGyver it yourself. These are light weight...affordable units, that do a great job for their intended use. Use them as is...researchfailure rate....or don't use them...upgrade to your own sensibility's.'If' there was a failure of the ballast...and I was so inclined...I'm certain rivets wouldn't deter me.James

when you take it out of the box,you`ll take the bulbs out of their containers and insert them into the slots where they go without touching them(if you touch them with your skin, kiss it goodbye) next your going to take the wire harness and hookup the 2 ends there to the 2 ends on the wires coming from the bulbs,next you will connect the ballasts and stuff to the wire harness,then you will hook up your vehicle wiring to that. you will do this for each side,you should be done now. best of luck.
