Question HID's installed on 98-02 Fbody

Ive been wanting HIDs for awhile but am not aware of anyone who makes a kit for them? Ive also seen damage occur like lenses melting when HIDs are installed in cars that did not come with them. With that said guys post up info about your HID setup.

Did mine a week ago with the DDM Tuning kit and the LMC truck housings. Took all of maybe 2 hours. DDM comes from China so it took almost 2 weeks to get that package.

Works great though.

I also run lmc truck housing with ddm tunings 6000k kit. Works great and looks good. For the fogs I don't care about the light output so I just run the white/blue 880 leds and matches perfectly.

Some people have so much time on their hands that they sit on here all day and call people dumb. Wish I could do that but than again I like having a life and being a douche bag. We. R all here for the same reason. Info not insults. It's one thing to think some one is dumb as you read it but you actually took time out of your day to tell him. Wtf some people on here are unbelievable. It amazes me.

Jesus christ...let me make it simple.

http://www.ddmtuning.com/Product-Cat...hting/HID-Kits

Pick whether you want the regular size or slim ballast, choose the bulb type, then pick what color you want. DONE. Doesn't matter what kind of car you have it will work with anything with the matching bulb type... They take forever to ship but they are quality kits, had mine for years no problems.
