They work excellent as they were designed for projectors. My Tundra was ridiculous. That thing would light up the tops of the trees and I'd have people flash their lights at me all the time since the factory headlight housings were not designed for HIDs.

My understanding of powering the ballasts off the battery is factory halogen lights can see a drop in voltage from the factory harness and the lights will dim. The HIDs require a specific voltage and will turn off completely or flicker if running off the factory harness for power. My kit has been great for a couple years so far.
