Need some advice on HID's

[jayhawk2014]

OK, I am ready for the jump to HID. My brother's Mark VIII has them, my dad's Escalade has them, and I am stuck with wimpy halogens. I don't want to buy a no-brand conversion kit/new headlight housing off eBay, but I can't seem to find specifics.

What are you guys running HID wise and where did you buy?

I just installed a set from www.ddmtuning.com , I went with the 5k for my 2003 Expedition... I have used DDM before and never had an issue, I have a set on 01 Saleen Mustang, 08 Mazda 6 and 97 Volvo 850-R... Pricing from them is 25 bux compelete...

Just my opinion

This is a long article but a very good read on what to look for. Educate yourself on the subject. This forum is a great place to start.

Ddm tuning! Work great and you cant beat the price/warranty

How is the glare in the stock housings? Also, 35w or 55w and does anyone have any pictures of what these DDM kits look like at night in stock housings?

1st post here, bare with me.


I have an 07 EL EB and was wondering what else I need to purchase along with the Kit from DDM.

I am looking at the Apexcone Raptor Kit with 6K bulbs and 35W.

Do I need the HID Harness, Error Code Eliminator and adapter cables?

Has anyone tried these on a 07+ stock headlight?

Thanks a lot in advance.

all you should need is the ballast and bulbs

 

[jayhawk2014]

Ok, my DDM 6000k 35w 9007 kit shipped today, but I was thinking...should I have gotten the bi-xenon kit or will I just not have high-beams?

 

[WHOISMOOTOO]

@rod costa they will send you everything you need in a box exvept the time to put them in ....lol. We have a shit ton of people on this forum that run hids and can even help you troubleshoot if you run into problems all we ask is pics

@jayhawk yes i would have recomended getting bi-xenon i believe it was +$20 for those, you might even be able to call them in san diego and change it before they actually ship, just remember there on best coast time
