I took a quick picture of my car running 5000k lowbeams with 3000k foglights, both ordered from DDM. The yellow is nice, but not as deep a yellow I would have thought. I've had the lowbeams in for about 8-9 months now, and the foglights for about 4 months. No problems to speak about.

10000k low beams and 3000k fogs both by DDM. No extra wiring harness, all plug and play! I got the slim ballast kit if that matters much. I love the golden yellow it gave me. I'd say these are the best kits for how much they are.

love the yellow in the pictures, makes it look real sick. Hopefully when i order mines it would look some what like yours . Wonder if yours look more yellow than others because you have the vinyl on there?

also, are you guys running the regular ballast or slim ballast? does it make any difference color wise? And I'm assuming everyone is running 35watts?

It is an additional 12.50 for the HID harness. I'm not trying to pay extra for it if i don't need it.
Nope didn't buy the extra harness. Everything was straight p&p. had both headlight and fogs installed in under an hour.

O btw, i got the slim ballast kits

I finally placed an order on DDM today because after two years one of my yellow ebay bulbs finally crapped out on me LOL. So i guess this was my excuse to finally upgrade to HID fogs. Can't wait to install the HIDs when it comes it ! Also just wondering where did you guys hide your ballast?

Finally installed the fogs this weekend and i must say that these are not the yellow i was looking for. As everyone else said they are pretty much pale yellow. Don't get me wrong though they are very bright and light up the whole road but I'm probably going to end up getting yellow vinyl to get the golden yellow i want. Here are some of the pictures of the fogs installed on my car. Sorry for the bad quality they were taken from my iphone.
