I was about to order them (44$ with HID + bracket + 55w) but the shipping to Canada alone was 42$

I don't want to cheap out on them, but the shipping alone costs as much as the HID kit which i find ridiculous.

Thanks steve, you convinced me

I wonder what the mounting bracket entails...what wasn't available when I purchased mine last week!

Anyway, I hope I was helpful!

Really the moral of the story is: whichever manufacturer you go with, make sure you get a lifetime warranty...that's what really made the deal for me.

And you'll love 55w 5000k. I'm sure of it

OhHelloChris

I don't know if you can see this but I have 6k, 35watt headlight DDM tuning HIDs, and 3k, 55watt foglight DDM tuning HIDs.

Good stuff! Did you need to go with a relay harness since you are running two HID installations? That pic also makes your 6000k's look hella blue. Are they that blue in person?

Mine look like that at certain viewing angles

OhHelloChris

Yes, I had one installed. They aren't that blue in person, it's just the picture. Its more white, slightly blue.

Where did you get that TRD badge on your grill?

OhHelloChris

Lol, its one of the fakes. Ebaaaaay.

Hey sorry Im new on here. This is prob discussed somewhere else but Im really curious.I do a lot of night driving and was wondering would 55w 8k or 55w 10k be best?

If you are purely concerned about your visibility at night, then a 55w 5000k is going to be your best bet. It is the 'sweet spot' for light, providing the most usable visible light with minimal color. It is just about a pure white light in color.

8000k and 10000k are very blue and as a result, yield less usable light.

Do I need one for high beams? Wheres best place to order them?

biglilsteve

iTrader: (2)

You won't use them for high-beams because they take around 20 seconds to warm all the way up. Considering the brief time you use your high-beams, it's very impractical. For high beams I recommend installing new halogens like Sylvania Silverstar Ultra's. I am currently using my stock high-beams and they are sufficient when I need them.

I recommend ddmtuning.com. That is where I got mine and they come with a lifetime warranty. They also shipped out the same day I ordered. Very cheap too!

OhHelloChris

I never use highbeams but you can if you want. If they have HID high beams, people usually do 3k HID. I just run 6k headlights, 3k foglights. I love that setup, I'm also on stock high beams.

I just ordered my set of 6000k 35w from DDMtuning and am super excited to get them in.

Hey did you order the raptor kit or the slim ddm kit?

DustinMorrisTC

Raptor. They didnt have the slim ones available.

biglilsteve

iTrader: (2)

Ah ok yeah i have to raptors too. I have had them installed a little over a week now and they seem rock solid thus far.

Just don't freak out if they seem very blue when you first crank them up because they take a good 20-30 seconds to warm up completely. Well maybe it's a 55w thing because that's how mine are. I'm curious how your's will be.

Make sure you snap pics of your ballast placements too!

DustinMorrisTC

I certainly will! I got the brackets too to make the placement look clean! I will get back to you when I get them on. The only funny thing is that I haven't received confirmation that my order has been shipped out yet.

biglilsteve

Maaaan why weren't these brackets available when I ordered mine?? I wonder if they are available separately.

And that's interesting they shipped mine the same day I ordered them... which I wasn't expecting because I heard horror stories about their slow shipping. I did get the 2 day fedex shipping though so that could have affected it.

DustinMorrisTC

Ya they sell them seperately! They are only like $5 if I recall. I need them now! I live like 30 minutes from their shop but am really too lazy to go over there and pick them up. Just going to have to wait I guess.
