So you are going to have 4 M5 bi-xenon projectors?

Just for clarification, bi-xenon means hi/lo in one projector. The cut-off shield moves to let more light higher through the lens. You don't need 4 bi-xenon projectors. If you want separate halogen high beams, you can use halogen high beam reflectors or halogen high beam projectors.

Just installed my 55w 6k lowbeam kit and they are bright, they look really good. I meat up with my friend and hes got a 2004 m3 and my lights were quite a bit brighter and alot whiter than his factory hids on his car, just so you can get an idea. I have to adjust my headlights cause their shooting up and to the right. Ill get some pics this week.

Will testing them mess the kit up? The instructions say keep on for 10 min but when i tested them I let them stay on for 1-2 min.

I dont know, I didnt do that. I would have but I didnt know you had to. I did test them out to make sure everything was right before I put them in the headlight. Look for a place to screw them on, I figured I try the sticky pads and they lasted about an hour of driving till they couldnt stick to it anymore, so I have to find a place to mount them.

DDM Tuning's kits already have a Lifetime Warranty. If you are going to charge a markup, at least be honest about it... profit.

Plus you aren't a sponsor so don't solicit sales.

Technically DDM Tuning isn't a sponsor either, but they aren't on here soliciting sales. Its members recommending products that they have bought.

I have a question..

If you go with some Hella 90mm over some Eurolights housings - you'd still have to pre-fab the cut off right?

I have no doubts I could retro-fit the Hella's into the stock locations, but if I were to buy the Xentec's from supervtec, the light output should still be the same, regardless of whether they are in a projector housing or not, right?

You don't have to change the cut-off. I didn't like the stock cut-off. I wanted something with a shorter step and I wanted a curved shield instead of a straight shield for improved sharpness across the width of the beam. So I made my own shields. I also experimented with overall height of the shield to improve spread and width.

The light output will be better with projectors. No question. The only issue comes to what type of kit you buy. If you buy a H7 kit, get the H7 version of the Hella 90mm (it comes in H7 and H9 versions). I have the H9 version so I bought a H9 HID kit.
