They are great quality...lots of members have them here....did you get the slim or regular ballast?

You are gonna love em!


TIP: Your 9006 wiring is a reverse pin...so you will have to install the wires the opposite way you install the H11s

just wait til you get them in and go down a dark road where there is a good possibility of deer being on the roadside, then you will truly understand the capabilities of HID's. I noticed more **** in ditches and in the distance than I had with regular bulbs. I will never own a vehicle without these lights. I have the same kelvin and same bulbs as you and you will notice that the hue is a a pure white with a slight hint of blue. The thing that took me a while was the glare that the lights project off reflective tape on the roads and signs. It was trippy for the first couple of days, but makes night driving a little more interesting.

Yours may, but the Grand Prixs aren't. It's purely plug and play.

Any big difference between the 35watt and 55 watt? I want to order some right now.

I see they put out more "Lumens" but is it really needed?

Can someone post up some pics of their headlight at the different bulb color points. 6000k , 3000k etc. I would like a whitish blue color. More white though haha

Yes, the 55w will require a wiring harness to support the higher wattage. You're better off with the 35w. Some guys still get the harness with the 35w but it's really not necessary.

If you want the whitest option, go with the 4500k. It has a slight hint of blue as I have those for my fog lights. 6000k has a lot more blue in it

Wow, I just watched some videos on youtube of the ddm 4500k 35 watt's and they are just what I want.

Now, if I order the 9006's at 4500k at 35 watts

Do I order the H11 fogs at the same color or lower, I was told that fog light require a lower k # as they need to cut through fog?

4500K bulbs, 35W ballasts, and relay harness (fogs only):







Proper cutoff. No blinding.

I love mine 5000k 35w in both heads and fogs. No need for 55w, but if you do get the harness.

I bought 4500 35w for my brother and wife, that is true pure white.

I'm sure you will love them. I have the DDM 35w 6000k and have had no problems so far and they look great. The only problem i had with my install is the pins on the connector on my car are not labeled positive or negative or color coded.

I own an 07 Grand Prix and I know that the Headlights, the 9006 bulbs, are a reverse pin connection style.

Unless the wiring is different between trim levels on Grand Prixs, I am pretty certain the connectors need to be reversed.

Naturally, that wouldn't make sense since they all use the same headlights.

The only other difference I can think of is that I'm using a [standard] relay harness. There's no reason to believe that said harness is correcting/flipping the connections for me because if it were, then my fogs wouldn't work.

To clarify, I'm still using my stock 9006 bulbs and headlights, but when I was test fitting my projector, everything was plug and play like the fogs.

To the OP: It's trial and error I guess. Plug it in as it should. If the lows don't fire up, reverse the wires.

yeah your fogs should be the lowest yellow you could stand to see ... like 2500-4000 ... as it does cut through glare and reflection differently in rain ... go with 3000k's from DDM ...

ive got the 6K's in my headlights and love them ... the only thing is, you lose a bit of distance in the dead of night with no streetlights or other cars it is kind of disconcerting ... but thats what brights are for ...

For 35 bucks, you will not be disappointed ...
