I am assuming you got these : http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p...=101&parent=85

Can you tell me what bulb size and wattage you got.

35 bucks for an hid kit?!

They probably only last 6 months if that.

Hmm, $35...I wonder how long they'll last. That's awfully blue for 6000K.

Acutally, I just did some reading up on DDM in some other forums and it looks like the HID kits are legeit, and the customer service is very good, if you have an issue with your kit, here's a new one....

I think for $35, it's worth a try. $45 for the 55W kit.

A side question, is the 55W safe for the 04-06 and 07-08 foglight housings?

They have a Raptor kit and Slim kit.

Get the slim kit because you get a brighter and clearer white shine from the 4500-6000K kits.

Also another thing, IIRC HIDs require 100 hours of burning before they get to their final color and break themselves in.

Looks good. Can't be 6000k. Too blue.

Also, 4300k > 6000k in light output.

What the difference between those kits? Does the raptor kit last longer?

The differences between the kits are that the raptor kit is bulkier and a little harder to mount. The slim kit is slim easier to mount.

The slim kit is also said to be brighter than the raptor kit.

The Raptor kit is the OG HID kit from DDM. There are many purchases of those daily and that is why they are so cheap. Many, many, many, other forums also use the DDM kits whether it is the raptor kit or slim kit.

Either way you can't go wrong.

Install is very easy on most bulbs.

IMO the hardest kit to install is the H3 kit. It is such a PITA.

^I'm not worrying about the bulb install. I might just have to take off the bumper which is not a big deal.
I'm more concerned on what wiring, I'm gonna tap into or if it comes with the harness that I can slap into the existing coupler.

I noticed they also have D2S bulbs for only $15? They're the same bulbs used in their kits. What do you guys think about these? I mean I look at these and I look at Kaixen bulbs and these are like $85 cheaper. Are these crap?

Did you have to take the bumper off to install?

^Cool, I wonder if 5000K matches my switchback LED better than 6000K. Anyone tried to match DDM HID with LED? I'm planning to match the stock HID and covert the fog to match the LED.

+1

I have V-LED switch backs, V-LED LED DRL's and Oznium Neutral White LED stips in my headlights and they all match awesome! Then I turn on my headlights and the stock HID's which used to look nice and white to me are now looking a little piss yellow in comparrison.

I'm wondering if the 5000K or the 6000K is the way to go.
