Question Where do u buy hid kits

Hi fellas, I'm new to this forum An I'm dedicating my first thread to finding out about lighting. Do most of you guys just buy from ebay? if not from where? and what should I be looking forward to spending for a good quality kit? I searched and found a lot of ebay buyers, but I have ebay trust issues. ha
thanks for any insight you guys!!

I have DDM HID's on my R1. Great kits, cheap, and lifetime warranty. Can't ask for much more than that!

Thats odd, all I hear is praise from DDMtuning.. On any car site I regular.

They have life time warranties with no questions asked. What else could you ask for?
The quality kits are 40-75$ now. The kits that gouge you are 100$+.

ALL kits are made overseas. It's against the law to manufacture them in the USA.

With that being said... the $100 plus kits are just more expensive. That's it.

HOWEVER OEM kits are much higher quality (i.e. Morimoto, Denso, Matsushita, etc) but they need to be modified (slightly) to work with our wiring.

DDM offers a lifetime warranty... bulbs/ballasts for what a decent set of halogen replacement bulbs cost. Can't really go wrong there!

BLS is suppose to have another group purchase soon. He uses projector housings...looks amazing, but does cost more than some other options. I'm picking up a set whenever the sale goes on.

Have 3 separate DDM kits here. 2 50W kits in my Z, and 1 50W kit in my truck. I have tried about 10 eBay kits, and lets just say that I will ALWAYS buy DDM HIDs for now on. They are excellent kits, especially for the money. Not a single problem.

Ive bought a kit from vvme.com and I just recently ordered a set from ddmtuning guess I will see if one is better than the other. They came to around the same cost after shipping.
