Im looking to get new HID's for my headlights and foglights. Im wondering if there is a new brand that people know of or are the DD's still the best to get. The one i currently have are some that I got from the local stereo shop, they suck, i have had to go back up there 3 times to get them changed because the color keeps changing in 1 of them after a few days. They keep saying the temperature changes. I want to get some that are good and for a good price. Let me know what brand you have and how much. Thanks

Talk to FastBlackMerc, he sells kits.
I installed a DDMtuning headlight and foglight kit the other week ago in DOOM's car.

Also have DDMtuning's headlight and foglight kits in two of my cars and the g/f's Jeep, no problems.

Yea i saw your thread a few days ago. I will contact Fastblackmerc aka the wizard and see what he has. I know he would stand by anything he sales. Thanks a lot man. If he doesnt have any, I guess i will just go with the DDM's.

I highly recommend 5000K for bulb color unless you want to be ricey and go with some deep blue or purple color. :lol:

I'd go with either 5k or 6k.

DDM, go with the 5K it's is pure white. They stand behind their warranty and have good customer service. Prices rock too.

Im going to go with the 5000k DDM kits, what parts do i need to order? I see the kits for $40 but then there are a lot of other options u can add so i dont know what to get. Im doing the headlights and fog lights.

9007 Hi/Lo
5K Bulbs
That's all you should need. You could get the ballast mounting kit, I didn't. I have the 35 Watt system and it is PLENTY bright, I think the 55 Watt would be way to bright for street use.
Have had mine for the last 2 1/2 years with no problems. Only issue I had is one of the bulb's hi/low rod was broken during shipping when I ordered them. They sent me two new bulbs, no questions asked.
Go for it, it's an awesome investment. I love being able to see the road!
