Default cheap hid kits

I have to share... my gx470 has 6000k ultinons from xenon depot.
my E46 M3 has D2S 6000k ultinons from xenon depot and 6000k fogs from ddm tuning. i picked up the fog kit from ddm.

i was skeptical due to such low price, *i bought it on thanksgiving for $35 during holiday sales. it works perfectly and color looks great.

that's what i've been telling everyone. they work just fine. they may not last 10 years like an expensive kit, who knows but i dont' keep a car that long anyway. if htey last 3 years, it's worth what i paid becuase if i still have the car, i'll buy another cheap kit and still spend less than an expensive kit.

Try not to order around holidays. They are known for screwing up when its high traffic time

Other than that, spend away! I use them as my fog lights

i can tell you guys, as a dealer for ddm, even my orders get screwed up during holiday.

on one order they forgot the ballast to one set. then i had to call them to verify it didnt come and they finally got a set of ballasts to me on the 6th.

i also placed an order while waiting for the other ballast, ordered some for my ls400 and some cancelling kits for my truck on the 17th of last month. they finally billed me and sent a tracking number via ups on the 31st. however the ups site shows only as the status as " billing information received" for the last 9 days so i called today and found out they havent actually gave the package out to ups because they ran out of the raptor brand ballast i wanted to try out/ demo for people up here. they said they wont get anything till atleast next monday or tuesday which means it wont get out to me for atleast 5+ days after that. so i say another 2 weeks atleast wait lol. oh well cost and quality make up for it i guess im in no hurry

i can sure tell you as a dealer im not excluded from crappy service from another dealer. and i have a handful of people wanting to see my HIDS but ive been waiting... and waiting...

my first order that they forgot the ballast on however was just before thanksgiving and i called the order in, they billed me the next day and they were inmy hands 7 days after talking to them on the phone. when they arent busy they get there stuff straight and out quick. also as a review distributed for them since august or so and so far no problems with their ddm slim ballast kits. currently waiting for full size ballast and raptor brand kit to test out on my own cars.

I have a set of their (DDM Apexcone) 5K Slim HID's in my WRX and they look and work great. When I ordered them the regular ballast was back ordered. They did not call or email or anything. I got tired of waiting and called them. They told me about the back order so i asked about upgrading. Their prices had be lowered since i ordered so I got the slim ballast upgrade real cheap.

They work great and other then the wait were a great deal.

they actually cost less than halogens in some cases like piaa's or sylvania silverstar ultra's. you can by a set form ddm for 39.95 plus a few bucks shipping.
