Ok, first report: the receptacle on the ballast doesn't seem to fit correctly with the plug on the car... it slides in, but at its maximum depth, it's not making an electrical connection. I plugged in the wire adapter to try out the bulb, and the color and brightness are good.

However, I'd prefer not to use that, so I'm thinking maybe dremeling a 1/4 inch or so off the end of the ballast's receptacle.

The issue is in certain cars the pins on the ballast need to slightly be adjusted, pushed closer together. This is a universal kit meant for any car so they are purposely adjustable for that reason.
