Budget - DDM Tuning
Quality - Retro Solutions

5k would probably match the stock HIDs the best

Sorry about the negative slim ballast message.

I have used DDM tuning with 3 of my vehicles now and they have been nothing but excellent. I have the DDM 35w slim kit with 5000k in my fog lights to match my HID headlights in my 2011 5.0. I chose the 5000k for the fogs because the HID in the headlights are in projector housings which give them a blueish-white white at certain angles which matches with 5000k in the fogs pretty good.

Have any of you guys used or know of some one that has installed a E-Force blower on a 2011 GT? I am waiting for Saleen to release their new Series 7 that looks like a E-Force but wanted to see if there were any experiece users of the E-Force to get some feedback.

Thanks

Hey Austin what bulb type did you go with from DDM?

I have the kit from retro-solutions and had no install problems and they work great!

I purchased the H10 for the large foglights in the grille. I got the 35w HID because of fear of melting the plastic with the 55w...not to mention the glare they would produce. I still got flashed a couple of times, so I tinted my fog lights with a very light tint to cut down on the "chrome" look...now they blend in better with my projector headlight housing and I rarely get flashed. The tint didn't really take away from the light output too much b/c of how light I went. Go with the slim ballast...they are so much easier to hide behind the grille versus those humongous ballasts. I have had no problems at all with any of my slim ballasts (I have had them for my 2001 mustang and 2011 mustang and my wifes Jetta).

Sorry about the slim ballast dislike. As long as you found a quality slim ballast that lights the bulb with no flicker or pulse, then that is great. You are also right about the small ballast are easy to hide. I do usually find ways to conceal the ballasts. I have been installing these things for people around 6 years and so I thought my experience with the slim ballasts was valid. I will try buying from the DDM retailer and give them a try.
Thanks for the info.
