Default DDM Tuning HID Kit

I have seen many posts, about this kit and I was very interested in purchashing it. I just had a couple quick questions.... and I already called the company twice and some weird reason I get directed to there answering service but anyway....

also im installing these headlights at the same time...

http://www.americanmuscle.com/9498-b...hts-amber.html



this is the kit i was looking at....

http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DD...ast-35W-or-55W

I was going to go with these options..


55 watt (extra $10)
9007 hi/low (extra $20)
6000K


My question is do i need ....

HID Harness - Dual in & Dual out ($12.50)

also if later on i do decided to put HID on my fog lights...what will i need?

I don't remember what the dual in & dual out is, but I am pretty sure you don't need it. And when you decide to do your fog lights, you will just need to order another kit for your fogs. Pretty easy install

also getting a little bit of mixed reviews.....with the headlights Im going to be installing will the 55 watt ballasts be to bright?? or should I do 35 watts?

my theory of looking at it was for only $10 why not do the 55 watts! just reading mixed reviews sooo just trying to gather more opinions before I order them

I've heard DDM has been having a little trouble as of lately. I'm assuming that's why they're not answer their phones... I got the 35W and I wish I had gone with the 55W. Idk if it's worth the extra $20 for the high/lows though. If you get the 55W, I don't think you'll really need your highs, plus I can't see that you would have much opportunity to use/need your highs since you live in florida.

I have a DDM 35w kit on my car with no problems at all. They are known for being a good value.

However, things to keep in mind:
1. With a 55w kit, you will want the upgraded harness
2. DDM is phasing out the sale of HID kits and changing their product mix, hence the reason why you can't get a hold of them.
3. For that reason, if you burn a ballast out, it may be harder in the future to get them to honor the lifetime warranty.

1. When you say upgraded harness are you talking about the (dual in & dual out) for like $12.50.... Already when you do the hi/low for the extra $20 they included the relay harness

so which upgraded harness are u talking about?

2. For the price you cant beat it... or do you reccommend another product that is simular?

3. Where are you finding your information on the company phasing out the HID kits and changing there products?

my buddy just got the 55w and there soo ridiculously bright. no need for hi beams with the 55w. and if u do go with the 55w make sure you chose one K over what you want. as an example you want the color of 6000k with 55w you need to get 8000k to get the same color as 6000k
