DDM Tuning is good. Also comes with lifetime warranty.

I've used it for 4 years thus far and never once a problem.

beware of counterfeit bulbs!!! they will melt!!!

beware of cheap bulbs!!!! the focal point may be off and you will light up the trees and oncoming traffic!

i've been doing trial and error right now trying to save some money... but to be honest, you'll never go wrong with Osram Xenarc bulbs. Philips i try to stay away because too many counterfeits.

I also ordered a set of D2C from HIDEXTRA $40bux a pair.

set 1: 1 bulb glare and lit up the tree. i suspect it is slightly off spec. the other was perfect.
set 2: same as set 1.

so i ended up combining the 2 perfect ones together to make 1 good pair. It did work out. Seller was responsive... but a bit silly that i had another defect from set 2. but i still came up with a good pair from set1&2.

Just beware from going too cheap because they might melt and cause fire.... or out of spec and not performing.
