Default HIDS

Ok guys, I just bought the smoked headlights with clear indicators from American muscle and installed them, but now i'm looking at Hid bulbs. Lets face it, the ones on American muscle are ridiculous in price. And at a place I found called ddmtuning they have the right size bulbs and everything for a much better price. so my question is, why are the ones on american muscle so expensive when i can get something the same if not better at ddm tuning??? My friend has bought from them before for his bmw and they do great. no problems with them whatsoever. So do you think if i purchased them from ddm they would work?

I have no idea why AMs kit costs so much, I've always wondered myself. I got my HID kit for my fog lights from VVME and they seem to be pretty good so far.

As long as you know someone who has done business there and is happy with them, and the warranty is good , I'd say go for it

ill tell ya what, usually cheap EBAY stuff is, well.. cheap. but when it comes to HIDS ebay kits are really good usually. ive heard more stories of bad ballasts and stuff from more expensive kits than the ebay kits that are less than 60 bucks or whatever they are. and all you need to know is your bulb type, which is 9007, and what color you want your lights to shine. white=6k blue = 8k-10k purple = 12k iirc
