Default HID DDM Tuning Question

Okay before I get hell for posting this, I have been searching for an answer to my question for hours now and couldn't find ANYTHING . But I am in the process of purchasing HID's from DDM. I didn't know what the difference was between the Slim Ballast set up and the Raptor set up. (other than price) I tried calling DDM and no one will pick up. SO any help would be greatly appreciated! Then my next problem is deciding between 35w 5000k or 6000k haha.

and just to double check, the head lights are H13's and the fogs are H10's?

THANKS

They may be different in price because one is smaller or one is digital. Color is your choice, although alot of people like 8000k. I myself like the look of 6000k. What is your truck year? The headlights are H13 (9008) and the fogs are H10 (9145) on my 2006. Remember, if you don't order a Bi-xenon kit, you will only have one beam. Not hi and low

I believe the Raptor ballasts are analog vs the slim ballasts are digital. I've heard that analog ballasts can cause some bad static with the FM radio at times, but I don't think you could go wrong with either kit. They both have a lifetime warrenty. I personally have the 55W slim ballasts with 5000k hi/lo's in my 06 F-150. Love the way they look and have had no problems yet. Had them a little over 2 months.

I recently installed a DDM 5000k 55w slim digital kit in my wife's Mazda6 and I could not be happier. Its an incredibly quality kit... if you can stand the shipping time.

DDM/Apexcone gets more orders than they can handle. Be prepared for long shipping times.

Here is an email address to a guy that can get them for you. Send him and email and let him know I sent ya. His name is Charles.
