Default HID fog kit

I want to order up an HID fog light kit from DDM tuning but dont know how to order.

im on their website and it gives options when i go to order. i dont want to order the wrong set up.

option 1: 35w or 55w ?

option 2: bulb type: i assume 880?

option 3: it says bulb color, which ill be doing 5 or 6000K

(i understand everything above. here is where it gets tricky for me and i dont know what to order)

do i leave these options blank or???

option 4: HID harness "dual in/dual out" for another $15????

option 5: error eliminator type 3 or 5 for another $20 each?

HELP!


thanks in advance

55w will be brighter...as for the rest leave them blank. You wont need any of that. wattage, bulb temp, bulb type as all you need.

Default eBay hid bulbs Supervtec

A friend of mines bought hid light on eBay for I think $60 or less they are plug n play, no kit needed, the seller name is Supervtec, better to google it then takes you stright to seller items, they fit right in the stock fog lamps. They are thin bulbs, after he put the bulbs in he didn't have to turn on his headlights anymore. Since then he hasn't had a problem with the fog light bulbs

35W. 55W will melt your housings.
Yes, 880 bulb type.
Some have reported issues with not using the harness in the fogs because the wiring is pretty thin. It can handle the 35W HID bulb when running but it has issues with the initial inrush current of turning on. I'd get the harness for the fogs.
You don't need an error eliminator.

35w would be a much better choice for a foglight.

55 watt for lows, 9006 bulb, 35 watt for Fogs, 880 bulb -- get the HID Harness (reports here say they should be used, esp. with more than 1 set of ballasts). I went with 5K bulbs for low beams -- I want good light output, and you loose some with higher color temps.

55 watt HIDs should be ok for low beams, heck Speed Inc. (recommends them)... But definitely only 35 watt for fogs -- the housings are too small for more heat. But you would be better getting a more yellow color temp (3000 or 4500 - I will probably go 4500 on the fogs) for the fogs, since you WANT to pierce the fogs and the yellow light does it best!
