Here are additional questions and answers between DFW7 members and Umnitza after the meet.

Question: I prefer to wire my lights so that they are on whenever the ignition is on. However, I find the wiring harness appears to be much too short to allow the red/yellow wire to go to the ECM while the ballast for passenger side is also attached. Further, your on-line instructions clearly state to attach red/yellow to a *red* wire in the ECM. I have probed these red wires and find they are always hot. On the other hand, there are several (red/white, red/brown) that have 12v with the key on. Not knowing how much current the relay draws, I am very hesitant to connect this wire to some functionality whose current is monitored. Can you clarify your point of attachment of the switch control wire for the relay?

Answer (Umnitza): Red wires are usually hot with ignition only. We say RED wire because we know people like this (like you) If you find the red wire with white stripe, you should be very successful with it That's the one we are referring to


Q. Are the kits DDE "Enhanced"? Box says E36 "Plus"?
A. All are enhanced for E38

Q. How do we trim the rings for 99+ E38?
A. Just use a file - nail file.

Q. Shouldn't there be 4 blue clips?
A. 1 plastic clip - only 1 tap
A. “The blue plastic clip (tap-in connector) is available at any Radio Shack for $2 for a set of 7 red connectors.” (Thank you, Robert)
