it's possible to retrofit E46 projectors into E30 housings.

[DrMcDave]

the TSX retrofits are pretty popular with the e36 crowd not sure how they fit into e30's though.

[zshopa]

retrofit is best.... there is no other option, i doubt the spread on the stock projectors is any good and it definately was not designed for HID light out put. check out this forum those guys know their HID's www.HIDPlanet.com just do a little research there u will find your answer. if you do decide to go the conversion kit route, get the kit from the US, because if they say lifetime warranty and when they break and they all break you will not want to send it back to china.

hope that helps

the more I think about it the more I want to throw the DDM garbage in the trash and pick up a set of E46 projectors.

do it. Do they bolt right in? I thought I remembered reading a few years back that the swap wasn't really that hard.

[nando]

I don't know about bolting right in but it's probably not so bad.

I never wanted to do it because I don't want to hack up my hellas, but I'm so tired of dim green lights.

PLEASE don't be one of those idiots who put 55s in their low beams. Put 35w in your lows, 55w in your high beams, and if you're doing it, 35w in your fogs.

I am one day going to snap and drive my car into those stupid 55w HID users and kill us all.

explain to me whats wrong with 55s

[NC325iC]

drive in front of someone that uses them and then youll figure it out

[e30trooper]

got some DDM 35w 6k bulb set up last night for the GF's car. No issue , not blue , great out put. That had to have been the 8th time ive bought kits from them. They are allways packed and pretty much just selling HID's . Over heard the guy say they last about 3-4 years. The HID bulbs are gas filled and over time leak. For the price they are good. nI paid 27.00 out the door for my kit. thats less that 10 a year if they last 3 years.

i had 55w 6k's in the e30. Never got highbeam'd and if i did they got hit up with the yellow high's lol , raised trucks are the ones that piss me off ,behind me blinding the shit outa me. lol

[DrMcDave]

yeah raised trucks are horrible. Lowered e30 + jacked up truck = blind

[george graves]

I have 55w is my lows. I need to adjust them left-to-right, but the cut off is so clean that blinding people isn't a problem if you have them adjusted right - but that takes a really good eye, and a good amount of time. And getting to the adjusters are a bitch. The driver side one is a PITA.

the warranty is nearly useless, you have to pay shipping both ways and wait for them to take care of it. meanwhile you have no lights. I want something quality next time.

You'll pay more in shipping to warranty the hid's then it cost for a new ones. Or just about....

Yea, I wish I had bought two pairs. One to put in the car and one to keep as a back up. But I doubt that ddm will be around that long. The guys that run it know enough that when their name is completely soiled, they'll just start a new company, with a new name and start over.

Their entire business is based around paying the large advertising fees some of the forums are charging - then very aggressive advertising. The forum becomes their sales machine. Apparently it's a cash cow for everyone. My point is, ddm didn't become popular cause they sell a quality product...
