DDM Tuning issues
Just recieved my 3rd kit from them. bought a 6k kit for my R1 with slim ballasts. Recieved them 4 days after placing the order. They've been on the bike for a few years now and havent had a single issue with them. Ordered another 6k kit for my hid/sealed beams on the TA. Yea i know there are haters for this setup but again, approximately a week after placing the order they came in, no issues whatsoever. I ordered my most recent kit (raptor ballasts) 8k for my HID projector retrofit attempt (4.5k spare bulbs) and they came in 4 days after the order. So far i've had great experiences with them. Just got around to testing one of them on the car and i'm excited to get these things a bit more finished then they are. Guess im one of the lucky DDM customers X3
I find it hard to believe you guys think they have 4 colors when I know all my friends combined have 3K (yellow), i have 5K, 6K, 8K and 10K. The difference is noticeable. Maybe the locations are to blame? The one in westminster by me is well organized. My 5K fog kit with medium ballasts was $38 with tax. Not sure how the one in San Diego is (i think its their primary). When I was there everyone there was recommended to go there by a friend. Ill ask to see if they know anything about whats going on though
DDM tuning will no longer be selling hid kits. interesting because i literally bought a 55watt 9006 kit last week. waiting on my battery harness.
As DDM Tuning did its thing, I personally got involved in other things. I've talked about many of them before, so I won't bore you with too much of it. But essentially, we started an LED company, we invested in other companies in China and bought a factory in Taiwan that makes things for bicycles and sewing machines. We invested in shipping franchises and I started buying up a lot of apartment buildings when the economy tanked and asset prices plummeted while rent incomes actually increased.
Let me give all of you a life lesson. It never hurts to be heavy in cash. Most Americans have lunch money.
So Jimbo, where we going with this?
Basically the best way to make a lot of money is to run a market. The best way to run a market is to know when there is a market or a better one opening up and flog it hard for cash. That's what I've done off to the side. DDM Tuning has been focused on just selling you guys good product for cheap.
Behind the scenes, we have been looking hard at the business. Most people don't do this and that's why people fail.
So, amazing as this sounds, DDM Tuning is going to reinvent itself for the next decade.
A lot of the products we sell now, we are not going to be selling anymore. Some things we sell we will sell a lot more of and most surprising of all, we are going to move out of HID and a lot of other lighting products within the next several weeks. By the time we get to March 1st which is Apexcone's 10th anniversary, we will be doing something mostly different.
Go ahead, call me crazy

I was gonna go do a test cause I thought my Impala has 8000k (my TA has 6000) but I just checked my orders and they're both 6000.. I've ordered 4 kits from them and never had any problems, but sure seems like something is getting fishy. Regardless, everything I've done with them has been nothing less than satisfactory.
I had these HID's in my old WS6 for 2+ years. I'm almost positive the new owner still has them. Any auction listing will do, just tell him the bulb/color you want.

I always always stress to go with the slim digital kit. More reliable than the analogs from everything I've read, and mine have never failed to turn on even when it was -15 outside with a -35 windchill or something stupid cold like that.

Hmm, thats crazy man. Im over here in Italy, and i orderd a set of 35W raptors last week, and i kid you not, i just got them on Friday, and im here in italy and i got my kit in less than a week, then again i did only order a set of 880's for my fogs, but they sent them out quick as ****, i am going to do the install tomorrow, sorry to hear about your luck...
I got 6k 35 watt bulbs from them. I could tell they were cooler than 6k but kept telling myself it was in my head, possibly my lmc housings.
Atleast now I know I'm not crazy!! Mine are way more "blue" than 6k should be. My girls Lexus had 5.5k and are noticeably whiter than mine. But her housings are alot better, they self level and follow the road..
