Redoing Headlights

So I've decided to put the sound system on hold and finally get the lights done. Heres the list I think Il do any comments are more than welcomed.


DDM 55watt D2S hid kit
DDM 35 watt 9006 hid kit
ZKW-R clear lens from http://blackflamecustoms.com/product...ar-lenses-p-66 (might as well try for 40 bucks)
Clearing the lights of course
Haven't decided either on switchbacks or just a chrome bulb.
Also going to try to install these http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/BM...ngel-Eyes-CCFL

Why are you getting an HID kit for the headlights when they are already HID? All you need is the bulbs for the headlights. IDK about those clear lens but I buy mine from matt for $50 plus ten shipping and how much is shipping there? Also go switchbacks, they are very nice and parking light is a 6000k which gets nothing but looks if you clear out your amber. Those CCFLs, IDK man. I guess they're worth a shot for $40 but DDM is china made and there is a lot of knock off/ cheap car stuff made from there. It says "charming brightness", corny line which means to tell me they suck or are an off brand without the name. Do it right the first time since you have to open your headlights to get them in/out. Why spend $50 now to have something break, if its ONE thing I learned about cars through my life is never go cheap, you get what you pay for.

Im going to do 55 watt hids for the drls and change the fogs to 35 watt hids. And ya thats what I was worried about being to cheap haha. Is it possible for me to get those lenses from matt?( I don't know who he is lol) And do you know a good angel eye kit that will work with the 3inch. What switchback do you guys recomend I've read that the 60 and 48 led route just burns out.



Thanks for the comments guys much appreciated !

Get the 48 LEDs, the 60 is too much.

Stick with 35W HIDs all around---55W may be too hot for the plastic.
HID DRLs may not be the way to go, since DRLs only shine at 75% power---it may screw the ballasts up.
I am a big fan of DDMTuning---lifetime warranty, quick shipping and quality parts (in my experience).
Stick to 48LED switchbacks---the 60 LED units from Autolumination have problems.
I would also run all of this by JnC for his opinion.
