However, the pre-existing coords in the alpine angel kit were long enough to fit without over-extending the wires.
The light doesn't flicker and is still the same with the original ballast. Also I wired a 4300uF capacitor on both the driver side and the passenger side just before each ballast to ensure the voltage doesn't fluctuate too much when I start the engine.
Let me know if you have any more questions!

thanks for the tip. i will look into this tonight. does having the igniters inside the ballast mean you have to open the ballast and solder the wires to it? i'm not sure how the alpine kit connects to it.
