DDM Tuning HID Kits - Apexcone - $55 is that right?

[Van Westervelt]

You guys with sealed beams and Euro lights do know there is a rear cap for the high beam that allows you to just plug your stock wiring right into the cap right? :)

Some people know all the tricks. ;)

I never have to use high beams. I was considering the dual smiley setup.

Just got mine today. Paid $64 shipped and got the slim ballast as well.

install question:

is this how you connect the HID properly for 9006 bulbs? and connect the plug encircled in RED to the current connector in the car? ...Thank you.

[E30-M3]

Yea you could install it that way but I think you would have a lot of excess length in the wiring.

I cut that little black rubber grommet (obvious don't cut any of the wires) and I took the plug and wires that you highlighted right out, you don't need them.

I just plugged the wire, that previously used to power the old bulb, into the ballast. By-passing that extra length of wire.

Everything else looks good, I had no issues installing both 9006 apexcone kits in my N/A elipsoids.
Good luck

Thank you. Thats exactly what I need to know...I also think thats just an extra set of wire.

Why not cut the wires instead o have a clean grommet/rubber? since the extra wires are not needed?

So anyways...Did anyone actually join that can tell me what the wholesale price is?

What, it's r3v, $40 is a lot of money...

[Kwaaahhh]

DDM just lowered their prices again. $55 for ddm hid kit and $39.95 for apexcone hid kit

[Stephen]

I think i might pick up two.. one for the e30 and one for the z3. 6k 35w apexcones... matching lights haha.

Anyone know the average shipping time, from order to door?

[Kwaaahhh]

Well it looks like they ship on orders place from weeks prior. I had a h11 kit order for a buddy's car on 11/17 and expecting it next week. Seems like they are getting tons of ordered and they are really backed up. But at this price you can't complain. I'm going to put in order for h3 kit for my fogs in a bit.

Hey Corvallis did you ever get that DIY for the h3 hid fogs install?

I totally forgot about that. The DDM bulbs have large wires sticking out of them that run to the ballasts. These wires do not plug in to the stock locations on e30 fogs. So You have to cut holes in your foglight bulb cover plates, run the wires through those and up to your ballasts, then seal the holes around the wires with some kind of silicone sealant. I don't really see the point, it's a lot of hassle. I pulled mine out, bought some yellow H3 bulbs and called it good. they look identical and cost about half as much, plus they drop right in with no modification needed.
