I have DDM and have had to get 3 warranty replacement bulb pairs because in EVERY kit I got, 1 god damn bulb was bad. It would wabble or bounce in the housing. I swapped sides with the bulbs, same issue, so I know its NOT the housing or ballasts, its the BULB itself. They don't believe me, and I have posted 1080p videos of me driving on a smooth highway and you can clearly see the ONE side bouncing horribly.

So, I won't be buying from DDM again, they don't stand very firmly behind their warranty, and if you have a problem you have to PAY THEM to get the new part until they can prove that your part is bad. I can post our conversations and you can see for yourself if you would like?

I have bought all my HID kits off of Ebay. (02 Ranger, 08 Fusion, 02 Taurus, 05 F150, 97 Aerostar, 97 Mustang). All the kits except for the F150 came directly from China and I have not had one problem. I Bought the kit for my F150 from a seller in CA and have been running them in my headlights and fog lights with no problems for 4 months. (Seller from China closed his store)

Remember, with HIDs especially, you get what you pay for. I would highly recommend www.DDMTuning.com or www.retro-solutions.com

Both have really good quality products.
