They stop electricity from flowing backwards - so just put two inline with the wires taken from the fogs to main beams, and problem solved

Lads, can the bulbs for the xenons be changed for a higher output while still using the original ballasts?

yup they can. They are a D2S bulb i beleive (tho it may be a D2R). Someone else will confirm on this

Standard bulbs are d2s. I've now got 6000k bulbs in the dipped, 4300k is standard. You cant really upgrade them much though, 6000k is the brightest you can get, any higher output changes the colour but loses brightness.

Oh, hid main beams are insane. Its like driving in daylight. You really wouldnt believe how much better it is until you see it and drive with it. It lights up the road further than you can see. You really couldnt get any better.
