Ordered a 35W, 4500k DDM Slimline HID kit tonight! Tired of not being able to see. This should brighten things up a bit!

 

[drvsdwz]

awesome! pics once they're in!!

 

[scubiecraig]

HID's are in the Scarborough Maine USPS processing center... which means it will probably be delivered to my mailbox tomorrow.. but I can't get to the Post Office tomorrow

Probably will have to pick them up Saturday, and hope to install the same day!

 

[Jamey]

It's what I got you will love them and no annoying blinding blue They actually shipped that fast ?

 

[scubiecraig]

Yeah it only took two days from China to Chicago, and then four days from Chicago to Scarborough. USPS.

 

[Jamey]

Ddm is getting better on there shipping

 

[scubiecraig]

I was out in my driveway at 6:30 am this morning, in the 21 degree weather putting my HID's in! I also had snow tires installed today!

 

[Matt]

Pics and who'd you get them from!!!!

 

[cwiggin]

How you liking them? Pics.......

 

[scubiecraig]

I'll try to get some pics soon guys. I got them from DDM Tuning.

 

[cwiggin]

How much were they? Been wanting to get some hids. Were they hard to install?

 

[Matt]

Should be plug and play. Hardest part is getting the bulb in right.

 

[Jamey]

Ddmtuneing.com 35 bucks for there slim digital 20 bucks shipping .. To me anyway lol. Oh and it's lifetime warranty on ballasts and I think bulbs too

 

[scubiecraig]

What Matt and Jamey said. It's actually quite easy if you take your time. Mostly plug and play. I used Command picture hanger Velcro strips to mount my ballasts in the engine bay. Did this the last time on my Mazda too and they held up just fine. I'll try to take pics and maybe even some video today/tonight.

 

[Jamey]

I've had the ballasts 3 years now and bulbs 2 years it's not inferior stuff can't beat price

 

[blmpkn]

That is a really nice price, lifetime warrentee is enough to seal the deal for me too. Ive gotten stuff off of ddm before (not oights) and the ahipping was like 3 days.

In for pics! Did you put the ballasts in ballons or weatherproof them at all?

 

[scubiecraig]

Day pics of the new HID's, and placement of the ballasts.

Passenger side ballast placement

Driver's side placement -- tucked beside the battery. Sorry for the messy wires.. that's my non-functioning Hella 500FF setup

Winter Tires! Nitto SN2's.
