    DDM 55w 4500k with US ellipsoids.
    did the mod to utilize the highs and lows at the same time.

      I got the same kit. After one side slow to turn on it seems better after running it for a week or so and comes on usually 1st try. The problem is now my hi beams look like yellow ass. I think I need to change those to HID soon.

        Roger that! I want to try some nice PIAA's for the highs. They might be a bit closer to the HID color at least. The Silver Star's I'm running now look like garbage. We'll see....

            Maybe he means the relay mod for independent fogs?

              Maybe I can help, I have something similar on my E28, which came with inner Highs and outer Hi/Lows, but lows were replaced with low-only lights.

              There is a diode protected relay in the low beam circuit that is grounded thru the high beams on low, and it's coil is backfed from the high beam relay output on high. This kills the lows (and fogs are set up the same too, I believe) when you switch the highs on.

              I have a set of instructions that redirects the ground path from the low beam relay so that it stays on at all times, would you like me to send you a copy?

                when you go from sealed beams you have to either do a relay mod or use diodes to have them on at the same time.
                I prefered going diode here
                there are plenty write-ups on the relay mod

                    9006 would be plug-n-play for US ellips. H1 is for euro smiliess. just a difference in connectors.

                            I know some people posted pics of the DDM 55w 4500K kits (lucky7) but does anyone have more pics showing light output at night and such? I just placed an order for the 55w 4500k kit to replace my 35w 6000k (which is now for sale).

                            PM me for detailing services in the Longmont / Boulder Area in Colorado!

                              I want to see some more of the 55w 4500k and 5000k in Hella Smilies, I need to put my smilies in ASAP ( I have a sealed low beam out)
                              4500k will be more white than 6000k which would be blueish correct?
                              What about 5000k? white?

                                55w 4500 = white.
                                55w 6000 = white, with slight blueish haze.
