Default Beware of ddm tuning

Bought 2 sets of 4300k 35 watt HID kit a few months ago. They all look green. They exchanged 1 set with 5000k but they look blue and are not really that bright (supposed to be pure white). Request to exchange my other 4300k and they won't do it because it's over 30 days. The reason it's over 30 days is because it took them over 3weeks from the time I send my old one to get the new set. It also took a few days to email each other. Also my other set of the 4300k only work once (to test it after the installation), and doesn't work after that. So , now I'm stuck with no working kit. The reason why I bought from ddm tuning is because they were recommended from a few guys I know. And one of the people also had a problem with the shipping time. I would never buy from ddm tuning again or recommend to anyone.

I have used DDM Tuning HID's for 3 of my vehicles. Always went with the 6000k. Only issue I had is one ballast going out on me. Luckily I ordered 2 as a spare.

The 5000K will have a slight blue tint. Pure white is going to be 4300K. The 35w will not be as bright as the 55w. Also if you have DRL you will need to pull the fuse or it will kill your ballast due to low voltage. They have long shipping times because the product comes straight from where they are made (China).

FYI

THey told me that 5000K are pure white. The 4300K i had are look green. and it's not just me, a few of my friend told me the same, that looks green.
I have 4300K 35w from somewhere else, and they're brighter.

That's the reason why I bought them. But the color aren't correct.

DDM tuning only offers 4 colors.

QC-9
QC-22
QC-49
QC-144

Which did you get? Look at your box it should say what the Part# is. Well from the last set I bought it had the part#. They just say the offer more colors. 4500 and 5000k are QC-22, same part #. It looks better that they offer more colors, more margin for profit.
