very nice!
please someone (jbridwelltransam) pm a detailed write up if you ever get a chance to do it!!!!
2 36-0302
2 36-0303
2 880 HID kit from ddm 35w 6k
2 9005 35w 5k or 6k for the headlamps (is this also an HID kit)?
2 9006 35w 5k or 6k (high beam/low beam) are both of these also HID kits?
is this correct? 5k won't melt anything on the lamps will it? Have ZERO experience with replacing lights so hoping not much in the way of splicing and any other issues????
advice?

I thought about mine and I think the Hi beam HIDs would be a complete waste.... just my 2-cnts. Get the Hi replacments but just use the bulbs they come with. The HID lows and fogs will give more than you need anyway!

Yes, you really don't need high beams to be hid, t
But the housings are nicer.
36-0302 x 2 for low beam housing
36-0303 x 2 for high beam housing
9006 HID kit for low beams. 5k, 35w
880 hid kit 6,8k for fog lights.
When you buy the headlight housings on lmc, pretty sure they automatically add two to your cart, so make sure you buy the right amount.

thanks for all the help. bringing this back up again. got my lmc lights in yesterday, look great. hid's came in today with kit and looks intimidating. haha
i have no idea what i am doing.....even to the point about popping the plastic off of the HID. does it just screw on off or break off?
a little worried about melting issues with my 99 bird in the fogs......has anyone had any problems with the ddm 6k 35w kit lately?
can't wait to see lighting improvements this weekend at night!

Screws off. Leave it on untill your ready to install the bulbs. And I've been running the 6k fogs for a few months and no melting has occurred. I always have my fogs on. The hid kit is easy. There's a harness that's open ended.
Splice that into the factory headlight wires. Mine were a black and a tan, so I did black to Black and Tan to red. From there plug the new harness you just spliced in to the ballast (little box). Then the wires coming off that plug into the bulb. Very easy. I'm gunna have to take pics soon to help everyone.

so bumping this back up, gunna finally order the high beam housings. I have to do a headlight gear today, and I need to re-aim the headlights, since I messed with them. but its been 6 months and I havent had one issue.

Been down this road a while back, went with the LMCs and have not looked back, for the 4-6 times a year I drive at night I cannot justify buying HIDs, these work too good, IMHO.
BTW: The Alchemist I still have those HIDS and housings I bought from you say 2 years ago...I never got around to using them
