What companys have you used for HID kits

[stevofthahill]

I just ordered a set of 35w 5000K DDMs. The guy is bringing them up from socal to norcal where I live this weekend so I won't need to pay shipping. However, I am debating whether or not I should have gone with the 55w instead. I was told that most HID kits nowadays are 35w, but since the us ellips I just picked up are 20 years old, I thought maybe 55w would be a better fit. Any suggestions?

I would go with the 55w simply because the reason is "why not?" The price difference is 15 bucks I think, and the light output compared to my friends 35w is noticeably different(it's much brighter)

Prolumen. I am really happy with the lights and service.

DDM and Prolumen.

Had DDM full sized ballast 55w 6k's for nearly three months and the light output is phenomenal compared to my sealed beam halogens. It is a very bright white with a slightly bluish tint, but nothing over the top.

I would definitely recommend them for any HID needs, and with bulbs only being 30 bucks a pop, I'll be trying some other color combo's in the near future.

It's like skittles, you gotta taste the rainbow.

I've always used the POS ebay kits ($50) and never had any problems. Proper install = long lasting HIDs.

I take it back, with one company I used... the ballasts were unusually loud and had a shitty hum to them. They lasted 2 years though until I sold the car they were on.

^^^^^

But is it bright?! That's all that matters IMHO.

And now Korman's idiot grandkid is "calling me out." Oh noes.

OP, good luck with whatever you get, I was just saying that my family has had great luck with the McCulloch HID kit.

ah so I'm an idiot? lol looks like you are full of shit and have nothing to back up your hollow claims. Go figure

My 4500k looks like a 200w halogen bulb. No blue hue at all so it does not have that HID feel to it :(

DDM, you cant go wrong.

will 55W blind people? i have euro smileys

not as long as they are aimed properly, that is the key with anything. well aiming and making sure its in a projector housing are the 2 critical issues.

Sound like they need to make 5500k bulbs:mrgreen:

You got another one?

Fuck.

[smonkbmw]

btw: I have the 55w 6000k and i think it is still a tad bit too blue

yeah me 2. so i picked up a set of 4500s

When you get the 55w ddm kit you have to go up in color. eg a 8000k looks like a 6000k.

not quite, thats why i bought 6ks cause i thought the 6ks would look like 4-5ks. i was wrong and have blue headlights now.

Sound like they need to make 5500k bulbs:mrgreen:

naw 5ks are a good white, 4500s are better though!

[deansbimmer]

I think the 55w 5k kit looks oem....but thats just me...
