I installed my HIDs yesterday. Shipping took a bit long, but as soon as they got here I read the instructions and installed them. DDM Tuning HID kits are good and cheap. It was 65 total with the 6000k 55watt low beam HID kit. Its brighter than I actually need living in the city. Thanks for the suggestion. Now for my fog lamps and bulbs to be installed tomorrow. yyeeaa!!

thanks. They look good but lamps need alittle more adjusting for far proper lighting.

You said your hint of blue is too much; which kit did you go with? 6000k is a good one. It calls for attention but not as drastic as some, say the 8000k+.

@ the OP, are you satisfied with the 55w? You mentioned it was brighter than you needed, if you did it again would you go 35w? I imagine if you get your lenses retrofit it's going to get even brighter.

That is just the company I bought my 35W 6000K HID's from. They came to about $80 with a lifetime warrenty. At one point he was a member on here and a seller but something happened and he left.

I have had no problems and have been in for about a year. I got the HID lowbeam and halogen highbeam. I never use my highbeams b/c they are uselss. I kept the highbeam to be able to flash people to let them go etc.
