    DDM has some of best bang for the buck. But they have been known to be very slow shipping sometimes up to 2 weeks for delivery. I run the 55w 10k and even with smoked lights I see very well. One set is over 2 yrs old and work flawless

    Thanks for the help guys! I'll definitely be ordering from DDMTuning, but I'm not worried about the shipping time as long as they get here, my lights are still working, haha..

    Also, what if I ran 55 in just my headlights? Have there been any problems?

    No problems there, it's just hard to match 55w bulbs in headlights with 35w bulbs in fogs as far as color. You'd have to run ~6,000k 55w bulbs in the lows and ~5000k in the fogs. Color washes out in 55w vs 35w.

    Alright, I read something about color changing through watts..


    So I've decided to run red on bottom and purple on top!






    j/k




    Seriously though, what else would I need except the basic stuff... Do I need the HID Harness/Error Code Eliminator/Adapter Cables/Mounting brackets?

    The higher 55w looses some of the blue cast compared to the same "K" rating of a 35w....but are much brighter..

    So if I get the whitest white.. I think its 5000k I could order it for both 55/35 and only difference would be brightness, right?

    I have had nothing but trouble with DDM. Literally 5 bad sets. Some bulbs cracked on arrival, bad ballasts, wrong colors sent, and bulbs that were supposed to be 6k that were pink.
