Looking for a good hid kit.....


I've been looking for a quality hid kit but can't decide which one is the best. You guys have any pictures of how they look installed? and where did you get them from? Thanks

IMO DDMTuning has some of the best quality(the best IMO) hid kits and great prices.

I've installed their kits on an 09 ram, 98 camaro, 97 camaro, another 98 camaro, and a 99 camaro. Never a single problem.

I have ddm tunning 5000k in my headlights and fogs. Took about three hours to put in. I'm picky about neatness. I paid about 100 for both. Best bang for your buck!! The only problem is that you have to modify the bulb holder a bit. Use a box cutter and be very careful on how much plastic you cut out. Other than that I love them. I also have them in my 09 r6 raven. Also love them in the bike too. Buy them you won't be disappointed!!

you may not have to, but if you do be very careful on how much you cut out, otherwise it will not seal the bulb properly

P.S. do not buy 55w bulbs for your fogs, they make too much heat are will melt your housing/ lens

I just finished installing the hids, everything worked alright except for two things.
One of the bulb retainers broke and sometimes only the left bulb works, I turn them off and back on and they both work.
Did I do something wrong?
I'll get two new retainers to replace them both.
Thanks

+1...55w HIDs might melt your fogs expecially for smaller fog light housings because they tend to concentrate a large amount of heat in a small area.

i run H13-3 bi-xenon HID kit for both hi and low beams from vvme.com
good quality and great prices....
