Default HIDs on my '98 Formula



I bought some H7-converted sealed beams from a guy on the V6 forums, I dunno where he got them. I then got the DDM Tuning 35w 5000k HID kit (lifetime warranty) for $85 shipped. Since I didn't wanna modify my stock harness, I removed the connectors from my OEM housings, bought some H7 pigtails, and made a plug-n-play conversion harness.


My green car with HIDs versus my blue car with stock sealed beams.

These work great and have no diffusion issues. One of the best mods I've done

I'm gonna do fogs on the green one, then do both on the blue one. At $85 a set and race season starting in a few weeks, the budget is being watched

nice. Yeah i just posted on CR about it. Like stated the only down side is the passenger side power wire for the motor was shorted at the harness connector so I bypassed it with a short piece of wire.

Yup! DDMTuning is where it's at! Between my friends and me, we've bought 7 kits from them. SUPER EASY mod! ...and no that for that ridiculous, ***-raping $300 price like LEDgauges. We picked up their Raptor kit for $39.99 shipped though. I can drive around with my fog lights only and still have enough light.
