      I posted a few pics in my thread a few days ago - http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=152700

      I went from sealed beams to ellipsoids to h4 to ellipsoids with hid.

          Went ahead and bought a couple sets. 35W3000k for the Alpine's fogs, 55w4500K for the DS's lows and move the set currently on the lows to the fogs for 35W3000k.

          Damn cheap.

                so does anyone know of a difference between DDM & Apexcone Raptor? the DDM used to come with a lifetime warranty which was an upgrade over the Apexcone. now they both have a lifetime warranty, so that's out the window. i don't mind to pay the extra few bones if the DDM is truly a better product.

                  I just did the DDM's in my lowes and they are amazing. I just have to figure out what to do to get my other kit into the highs.

                        I was wondering the same thing. But they are down the street from where I work so Imma get the cheap ones and just hope they honor the warranty if I have problems. Picking up 55 watt 5000Ks on Friday after work.

                          What things are necessary to install these, do I need to change over to European headlights, or do U.S. ones work?

                            You just need ellipsoids.

                              So if we have ellipsoids from the factory we dont need the HID accessory wiring harness? The factory harness can properly supply the current needed for the ballast? Thanks.
                              Yay for 6k 55w HID!

                                Don't need the accessory harness. 6k is going to be blue....
