This was the connection i did according to the diagram provided in the box. The two ends from the bulbs then go directly to the factory cable. The cancelers does avoid the flickering. I have zip-tied everything securely for now, will try to take a picture of that as well.



I still have the problem with the DRLs I guess. I have to leave the headlight on to use the HIDs in the day, I don't know if that's a problem but it works for me. If there's a solution to that as well please let me know about it !!

You can switch DRL mode to let you HIDs work as DRL.

I am not sure what's DRL mode. I tried that and the HIDs don't turn on. I have to switch the headlights on completely for them to turn on.

The cancelers itself are capacitors. I didn't use a harness but some members advised me to do so. I tried it without the harness and it worked for me.
Try it without the harness first and then bother spending more on it.

I finished installing without harness,but now I have question... when lights are on 'Auto',they are turned on when ignition is on, and then when starting the car,lights are cut-off,and when engine is on,lights are back on too... is there some way to disable lights on 'ignition on' ,and to set lights-on only when engine is running? (because I don't believe bulbs will last long when they are turned on two times on such short interval)

Stock HIDs act same way so I guess that's fine.

well stock bulb costs much more than aftermarket-chinese-unknown bulb,so that was my main concern worst thing is that we don't have authorized mitsubishi service in my country,so I don't have anybody to ask can this be reprogrammed somehow,or to try to do some hardware trick...but in worst case I will leave it as it is now

Even IF a bulb burns out. You get a new pair of bulbsfor $15-30. IMO, you shouldn't lose sleep over that.
