Wow that kit looks bright. How was installation, I was planning on a kit from the for my Integra.

DRASTIK

extremely bright! way brighter than my old 35watt kit from hidextra..

installation was easy, but i did spend an hour or so trynna put the bulb in and getting the pin to hold it firm. the ignitor is bulkier than the one i had before.

i highly recommend this kit!

nice.. do you have these with a slim ballast or the original sized ballast ? and also did you have to order the wiring harness (to prevent one side from only starting up) ?

headlights only? looks friggin sick.. it's a bummer i just bought new bulbs for my headlights from HIDxtra.. i really want these

i was reading bout them this morning...the 55w kit puts the bulbs at a high output...they said itll make 8ks look like 6ks...so what if u want the 8k blue look? then u gotta get 10ks? 12ks? 15ks? lol

Looks bright. Where did you order them from and for how much?

wow, how about any extra heat issues? I hope you have them aimed down a little

slim ballast, i used the harness from my previous kit from hidextra.....works perfectly.

yes headlights only......since im getting new fog light housings soon, ill test out a new 55watt kit in the fog housings i have now to see if theres any problems with melting or any other issues.

yea i guess, cuz it washes out the color.......55watt 6000k is the best imo, theres no blue AT ALL besides wat the camera captures.

ddmtuning.com ... bout $89

had them on for about 2 days, no issues yet......yes i have them aimed properly, but theres no big difference in glare from the 35watt.....only the range of visible road

i was thinking bout getting the 35w 8k for the bug

so you bought 55w d2r bulbs and they work with our 35w ballast? or did you buy the whole d2r kit?

What did you end up doing to keep the bulb in there firmly?

DRASTIK

na i bought the ddm d2s 55watt kit with slim ballast and external ignitor..
it didnt come with the harness to plug to the oem harness so i just left the harness from the hidextra kit i had before.

Bent the pin alil to the side (not the part where u push down and lock but the opposite part of the pin where it holds firmly) and it gripped on.

OP,

My ballasts are pretty much dead and I'm thinking about getting the 55W as an upgrade/replacement. Have you experienced any heating issues? Are you using a relay kit or the stock wiring to power the ballasts?

Thanks

nice work, very bright!

iv been running a slim external ballast and ignitor 35 watt 5k bulbs for over 2 years no problems. Had to drill a small hole in the headlight to feed the wire in and sealed it up with silicon, works great no leaks. Great thing about external kits is that they are water proof and a million times cheaper than an oem replacement ballast.

for those of you looking to install these kits, i just snipped off the old wires from the oem ballast and used them + and - 12 volts for the new ballast, zipped tied the external ballast to the headlight unit, and drilled a small hole to feed the wire in, sealed it all up, done.
