nope. should be all you need.
Just be careful with bulb life- their bulbs are most likely overdriven 35 W instead of true 50 watt HID like the Phillips DL50s
and overdriven 35 W bulbs will have lower life. and watch heat generation- some people have reported fading of chrome on shrouds from 55W HIDs

What do you mean by fading chrome on shrouds?
I order the DDMTuning kit 55w 6000k as well i havnt put them in yet but i have tested them and they look amazing. I plug it in to see if it would work and I left the plastic cap on
and it generated so much heat that the plastic was squishy but it didnt touch the bulb. Im going to install them tomorrow morning i'll post pictures where i set up the ballast.

However, the general consensus around HIDplanet is to use genuine phillips bulbs with the 55w ballast to reduce problems

its all plug in play. You might have to put in a higher fuse in the headlight fuse box depending on your amp draw. I have the 35W DDM kit in my sc with no problems. One of my friends had 55W headlights and fogs with no problems at all.

There are a couple diffrent ways. I have mine on the fender support next to the airbox just behind the headlight. For some reason my double sided tape keeps comming off so I think I might have to figure something else out. But I used the tape that came in the kit. I might end up using the 3M tape, gods fix all, other than duck tape. LOL!!! Good Luck
