Default DDM Hid question.

So i am getting ready to order some 6000k HID' s for my headlights (9006) and fogs (880), but i am alittle confused on what exactly i need. I see the basic kit has the ballast and bulbs. But they offer a Harness, Error Elimnator, Adapter cable and Mounting bracket.

Im sure i dont need the adapter. I was going to get the mounting bracket but wasnt sure about the other 2. For those who have DDM or any HID's, what exactly do i need?

Thanks

no need for the mounting bracket, some double sided "trim" tape and a few zip ties will hold it fine.

I'd consider a different brand if I was you... Such as vvme, or something. I've had ddm and they suck, every year I replace either the bulbs or my ballasts. It's my dd so I kind of need lights lol
