I have two sets, one for my wifes car and another for my Reverse lights mod, the reverse lights are perfectly fine, not even one issue with them. the lights for my wifes car, one went out less than 6 months after installing it. I ran into issues so i couldnt get eh warranty done right away, i finally got it done a few weeks ago and when i got the replacement, it looked like it was a new design and the color output was different than the original. I called but they couldnt/didnt do anything. Cant remember who i talked to thogh.

So if a rep from hid extra sees this and can help please let me know.

I have a set of V-LED's HID bulbs for my headlights and i think they are great.

there is this new place i found that i wouldnt mind trying its called omniautosports.com. They are a little more pricey but they look like a good place to go. End the end, its how comfortable you feel about the company you are using.

Yes definitly use V-LED's.

I would also recommend using a relay wire harness so you won't have to splice your headlight wires

+1 for DDMTuning.

Bought a set of the "slim" ballasts and bulbs for my 01 isuzu awhile back. Everything worked great, had them on the car for 3-4 months than I got into a accident. I removed the DDM HID's from the wrecked truck and sold them to a friend for $30.

Also bought 2 other DDM HID kits for my friends. 1 Slim set for my friends 1994 Chevy 1500 pickup, and another Raptor set for another friends Ford Lumina. All of which work perfectly still to this day, and it's been atleast 6+ months since install.

DDM kits were dirt cheap at the time I bought them, and they also had 2 day shipping for just $10-14! Not sure if they raised the prices on shipping and the HID products now though.

DDM has dropped in quality and customer service. Do not buy from them until they get it fixed like before.

They ship all there stuff from China-- so that's a big no-no.

I love my V-leds have them in my fogs and reverse lights. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the product.
