I have found out the cheaper the kit, the better the kit. DDM is good from what I hear but there slow on the shipping process and dealing with them on the phone can be a hasle but some say there products are good.

it is a pain to get a hold of them, but the product is good.
I would reccomend the 55W kit. a little more expensive, but they will be brighter.

^ No kidding. I had to get the harness and said I would never deal with them again. My HID's came from another company that had them to me in two days, the harness from DDM, two freaking weeks for that freaking thing.

^ That's all I'd get is a 35 watt. I wouldn't advise it since there not on long enough but if you were to get the high beams, that's where I'd get the 55 watt ones.
