Anyone who has HID's... please let me know the place in which you bought them and:

A. Are you satisfied with the quality of them?
B. Wish you got a different Kelvin number? (8000 instead of 6000 etc.)
C. Was the install of this kit easy?

I have had a few different kits. I will go through the list.

American Muscle 8000k bi-xenon. I won this kit through a contest run by AM so the price was perfect The quality was amazing and the install was a breeze.

I decided I wanted to get a fog light kit to match but did not want to spend an arm and a leg so I got an 8000k kit from VVME. The kit came with a dead ballast but it was replaced(I had to pay s/h the second time also) The quality was average but after I got the replacement ballast everything worked fine.

About a month ago I decided I was sick of the blue color and wanted a change. I ordered some 5000k bi-xenon headlight replacement bulbs and some 5000k foglight replacement bulbs from DDM tuning. The bulbs did not match up with the old wiring harness(the replacement bulbs came with the correct harness for me to switch in) so it was a little more involved that just switching the bulbs, but overall I was very pleased. The 5000k color is perfect to me.

I'm so tempted to just buy that American Muscle kit. I am so bad with electrical things...

I hear actually that even though all of their kits are 8000k... something about them is not that annoying import blue color.

Yeah, what's up with DDM? I have heard a little about them too. Has anyone told you that their lights rattle out of place? I don't know if it's true.

I have DDMtuning HID's. So do 10 of my buddies.

The only car that the lights rattle in are my dads pontiac grand prix... Otherwise, every other one of the cars we installed these lights in does not rattle from what i have seen... No complaints with DDM..

I have 8000k and i kinda like it. It's a really light blue. I kinda wish i went with the 5k heads and 3k fogs, but oh well...

Install is always a breeze. These kits are plug n' play.

My lights are pretty damn bright. I really don't mind them.. I would only go to 5k for brighter light if anything, but i dont mind my color...
