Hey there Simon. Yea I have Not been posting much lately. Actually had an issue with what I guess was the passenger side ballast (same side you looked at a while back). I shipped back to John and he replaced under warranty and even upgraded my cables to the latest/greatest. Hence my comment above, i received excellent customer service from John.

I measured the voltage in the AE bulb's jack when only the DRL is on, results 13V.
When the main beam or just the parking light is on, it has only 4V. That's not enough for the HID to work. At least a Philips xenon kit that i have at home, works from 9V to 32V.
Am i right?

Yes I am sure. I have done several installs and seen it in person. And for your info, that's what the relay harness is for.

Can i ask you to post a film so i can see de fade in and out of the HID AE's?

I've read some John@motorcepts posts and it says that there's no dim or fade effect with these HID AE's.
Thank you !

I don't have HID AE's, I have Orions. I am not going to debate you further since it's entirely pointless when I know something as a fact. And I have never come across anywhere where John said the HID AE will not function like OEMs.

I started this discusion about HID AE, not Orions. Orion is something else.

Here's the John's point.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

I am going to take it as a language barrier then. I responded that I can't take video of HID AE because I don't have it. As for your link, again, language barrier on your part. He is referring to the AE not dimming when the low beams are turned on (stock function unless coded otherwise).

it doesnt really fade in or out. So does LEDs. True fade in and out can only be done with halogens. LEDs can have a similar effect as well as HIDs but it's not as prominent.

It comes down to what you constitute as fade then. Any gradual lighting/turning on, that's fade to me.
