Idk man I emailed ddm letting them know..I put my old ballasts in for now. One is good but idk the brand or else I'd buy another one of that. And the other is a xentec n it puts out a blue color rather than pitch white like my other good one. I'm just gonna wait for ddm to reply.

You probably already tried this...but now since it works that way unplug the passenger side and see if the drivers powers up.
My relay has a ground point at each headlight. My ddm started slightly flickering on drivers side. I swapped the ballasts around and sanded the ground metal shiny on the bumper and the wire connectors. So far it works like it should. Hope you get it figured out.

I found a guy on another forum site that did a write up on this.

He has a good write up

Hmm I thought 04+ didnt have a drl fuse n only the older ones did..? That link isnt working on my phone either. Mine are still messing up here n there. Have hooked up one relay apiece yet though. Nor has ddm even replied to me.
