I would go 6000k.


I would aslo purchase them all from the same company. I am a big stickler when it comes to matching. I purchased my switchbacks from VLED and I plan to purchase my 6000k HIDS and a set of 6000k leds for my fogs from them as well.

I'm coming across headlight bulbs on ebay which significantly less than the ones on V-led. I've ordered from v-leds before and the bulbs were great . but if i'm seeing cheaper bulbs that are the same as v-leds i would definitely get those. what are your opinions? is the quality less on ebay or something?

I bought a pair of ebay ones once and they really just sucked big time. I like the DDM kits you should try those and they have bulbs for really cheap

great info, many thanks guys. i'm on the DDM website now and their products look great plus that lifetime warranty as some y'all noted. i plan on using their 35w slim hid ballast kit for the accord fog light mod, in hopes that won't melt the lens. but back to the headlights, what number are the headlight bulbs on their website?

Ya i forgot to mention the awesome warranty they have haha The bulbs for an 04-06 are D2S for the main beams and 9006 for the fogs. They shouldn't melt the lens I've heard though that the slim model they have does not produce as much lumens as the raptor kit. Course as of right now i have no physical evidence of this haha thought id let ya kno though

thanks for the help, greatly appreciated. i definitely plan on making this order today. also i was going with the slim ballast because i was keeping in mind the space in the bumper for the fogs. if thats not an issue then i'll definitely go with the raptor ones.
