how well do those DDM kits work with the stock headlight reflectors? i have tinted lights and have considered gettin the DDM's, but i hear alot of claims that any HID in a stock halogen style reflector is just annoying to other drivers?

ddm is the only way to go. quality and light output is amazing. ive put them in my mustang (hi/lo), my truck, my ninja, my girfriends mustang, her bros truck, my moms alero, my dads jeep, etc, etc. ZERO complaints!!! if you have tinted headlights upgrade to the 55w kit. they are stupid bright. i had them in my car with the clear headlights and even aimed them down not to be too bright for oncoming traffic but people still flashed me all the time. now im running the 35w kit and its perfect.

I'm looking to get a ddm kit for my fiesta since the price is so good. I got a 35w kit in my cobra from "HIDGUY.Net", pricey though compared to ddm. Is the 55w to bright in the stock headlight housing? Do you need to buy the: HID Harness, Adapter Cable, or Error Eliminator?

good to hear, if i get the 55w kit, with say 5k bulbs (pure white, since im not into that blue tint) should i also get 55's for fogs? DDM says something about small housings getting too hot for the fog's and to get 35's instead? i'd like to keep the colors close to the same, and i hear the 55's of the same bulb range wash out a bit more white?

its not that big of a deal, im not runnin fogs right now anyways(damn intercooler tubing), but i figured i'd ask about the fogs since i plan on getting a termi front end eventually.

I have the 55w 5k in my heads(still pretty bright even with tint) and 35w 5k in my fogs. The fogs have a small hint of blue in them, but you can barley tell.
