HID pics

I finally had a chance to get these installed. They're the DDM 55w 5k slims. I would guess that they have their orders up to date. Mine arrived two days after I ordered them.

I canceled mine about 2.5 weeks after placing the order, and the dude on the phone said they had finally got their stuff in and it would ship that day... Thanks, but no thanks... That was about a month ago

Woot! Just ordered.

[Bishop]

Considering ordering another set after canceling my last one.... Would like to sell my current DDM kit first though.

[george graves]

Apparently they are in stock. I just got a fedex tracking number less than 12 hours after ordering. At $40 a pop, they entire kit is as much(no - make that LESS than) I spent on stupid "silver star" bulbs.

4.3K 55W slimlines from DDM

[Bishop]

any more shots of that kit? Like looking at the projection in front of the car

Non aligned just plunked in the car some time ago.

Thinking that when I get some spare coin, I'll order a set again (since I canceled it before). Looks like an upgrade over my 35w 6000k kit.

OK. Just got these ddm HID's today. I pop'ed on into one headlight and did the thing where you stand in front of the car with two hats, holding them infront of the headlights, back and forth.

OMG are the 55 watt HID's bright - and Oh boy 4500k is still blue. Crap. I really wanted to avoid dealing with those ass hats.

Do these things mellow out a bit?

Either I've gotten so use to my crappy us elips and they were worse than I thought, or 55 watts are "I'M GOING TO KILL SOMEONE" bright.

Anyone else notice this at first?

4500 still blue? pixplzkthx

But yeah, 55w are bright. Every one of my friends that's ridden in my car at night tells me how insanely bright my lights are.

[Bishop]

I'm still wanting a 55w set, but yes, pix please? I was led to believe that 4300 wouldn't be blue at all, since that's what I wanted.

Maybe its because you got the Apexcones. I just installed the DDM brand, 55w 5000k kit and they seem to be white/daylight colored.

Only got one side done before it started raining so I'll post up some pictures tomorrow when I finish up.

I think it's more of an issue that I've worked as a video editor and know colors. What people call white with these bulbs *isn't* white at all. That and I think DMM is a bunch of ass hats - they may have sent me the wrong bulbs.

BTW - I got cheaper of the two - the DMM kit. Do you still have the box the bulbs came in? What does the outside of you's say? Mine says:

*9005/6 QC 22*

I don't thing there is any other way to tell WTF I got. I'm so annoyed with them and I haven't even called yet.

[bp9129]

I don't have my box anymore, but remember it being very bland and just reading 5000k. On the bulbs themselves it said H1.


The cheaper of the two is actually the Apexcone Raptor kit and judging by your order picture above, that's what you got. This shit: http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/Ap...Raptor-HID-Kit

This is the one I got: http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DD...ast-35W-or-55W

Not sure what the difference is other than the price, but judging by the other pictures I've seen in this thread the colors vary by brand.

Btw, i got the other side done and will try and get some pictures up in a couple minutes if they turn out decent enough
