Default DDM Tuning H.I.D.'s

I got my new Hid's in and installed them with a buddy yesterday and I am very pleased with there product. I'm always 100% with reviews and I must say that these kits are wonderful, cheap, and very easy to install. And a lifetime warranty on top of all of that is also a HUGE PLUS LOL would recommend them to anyone.
Gotta go, in the car wash getting this baby nice and clean ahaha

I ordered a 35w 6000k, what is yours? I'm curious if mine will be too bright?

I had a set of 35w 6000k in my headlights and fog lights from ebay and now my 2 new kits from DDM are headlights/ 55w 6000K and foglights/ 35w 6000K. For your headlights 35w is fine at 6000k. I'd say on a scale of brightness there about a 6-7 and the 55w kits are like a 9 lol. With the fogs you want to stay at 35w because the 55w is a little hotter and the fogs are too small for that much heat.
I hope that helped! If you have any more questions shoot haha

Yea I pretty much followed the way the old ones were put in lolol I didn't some minor modifications like adding butt connectors etc. I can't tell you which exact wires to splice but that's the only hard part. Everything else is mainly just plug and play. Thee only thing that sucks is finding a good spot to mount the ballasts. I put mine under my headlights but they tend to get really dirty from everything kicking up from the tires. There's nothing to protect them. I might try to put some kind of shield down there. Let me know how everything turns out for you

OK i Just finished them. My setup was from DDM 35watt 6000k, slight blue tint, perfect. A bit to bright still even at 35watt, but i will have to adjust the lights still. Luckily i'm an engineer and figured it out how to install them, without the instructions. (seriously i'm an engineer). But it wasn't that hard (2 out of 5).. and your right, the hardest part was finding a place to mount the ballasts. I used the top of my washer fluid for one, and the top of the wheel well for the other.. used velcro. The ballasts did NOT come with sticky backing, i heard they did, weird. NOTE: our headlights DO have a descent cut off, and i don't believe you should go any higher then a 35watt!

I am looking into order these but curious we I would need the "HID harness" or the "error eliminator". Thanks for any help you can give me.

Also did you order the "raptor" kit or the "apexcone" kit? Thank you again
