it is good to order this 9006 slim HID kit , it is on 60% discount for sale for the oncoming Christmas.....easy to place the ballast with little interference to radio.... very cheap but good stuff....just stay away from ddm's sucks customer service... once you got defective ddm HID, it is not easy to contact their customer servie....and you just pay for the 20 bucks shipping back...

I bought some off craigslist about a year ago & they still maintain it's color. I was also on the iffy side but I'm looking for another set for my fogs! Paid $60 though

Just have to find you most local supplier.

Wasn't aware of DDM...thanks PD. The price has me thinking..."you get what you pay for". There is enough splattering of DDM issues across other forums. I'm not looking for HID but good info to be aware of.

Cheapest place is DDMTuning hands down. But I wouldn't buy from them again. My friend and I had bad experiences with their HIDs. Failed ballasts, burnt bulbs, wrong color, unmatching colors, harness problems...yeah sure it's covered under warrenty...but you gotta realize you have to pay shipping + wait time, and after the 2nd time around...it's not guaranteed that it'll work again.

eBay is a better solution.
