if you can still get a setup from DDM tuning, its a easy plug n play kit and are bright as hell.

^^^I didn't type fast enough...


Ebay has a lot of different kits, also DDM Tuning still sells HID Kits.

i have ddms and some times there isnt enough power stock to light up both lights, there is something you can buy from them to fix it i just havent looked into it. but there bright,cheap and worth the money

I've never had that problem with my DDM HID's. Check your connections?

OP, you don't really need the harness relay if you go with the 35w ballast. Some guys get it for peace of mind but it's not necessary. it is cheap insurance though since the harness' go for like $10 on ebay. 35w is what the majority of us have.

I have 35w 5000k low beams and fog lights...Both from DDM tuning, I have 0 complaints.

Definitely should buy a relay harness, but buy a good one. It will keep you from cooking your wiring or having trouble with the lights.

A cheap relay harness can cause all kinds of problems. This happened in my Impala...One day, no lights. Replaced the relay, still no lights. Cleaned the battery connections and checked the wires, still no lights. Put a new harness in it, works great now.

I don't agree. When I ordered my HIDs for the Impala, they got here before the harness, so I installed them to see how they'd look. Well, about 1/2 the time, one side would fail to fire. The factory wiring and switch simply isn't designed to provide the voltage that HIDs need to startup. The wattage of the bulbs and ballasts doesn't matter. Any car wiring can handle 35 or 50 watts. The problem is the startup voltage when you FIRST turn them on. It's much higher than 50w.

All of my cars have been retrofit with HIDs, and I wouldn't think about running without a relay harness. It's definitely worth the $15 or $20 for a decent one.

You don't have to agree lol Just throwing my .02 cents out there, for what it's worth. I've had my HID's for about a year and 3 months, driven 18,000 miles, and both fire up every time without a hitch and I don't run relays. Like I said in my post, it IS cheap insurance to get the relay.

so if i get the relays i wont have any more issues or what??

not to thread hijack but I want to order some hid's now from ddm but I don't know what bulbs are in my car and I want to make sure they are right. I want to get highs, lows, and fogs anybody help please also do I need just one harness for them?

I think..Low beam H11 High beam H9...fogs I'm not sure, maybe H11 also.

thats what I thought but wasn't sure

You might want to reconsider the high beams, they usually aren't often used and HIDs don't like to be hit (like when flashing someone) on and off.

I have the 35 watt DDM kit without a relay and haven't had an issue

ok do you know the bulbs for fogs and lows?

DP 08 GXP

iTrader: (3)

i believe the lows are 9006 and the fogs are H11

^^^ this is correct
