I spoke to their Tech Support on the phone before placing my order. The support rep. could not have been any nicer nor any more informative. It just gave me a really good feeling I was in "Good Hands" with DDMTuning. And then their Lifetime Warranty. I was sold. I can't wait to get mine hooked up. If you can, please let us all know how your installation experience goes and if you're satisfied with the color you chose, after they're installed.

Merry Christmas to you. I personally feel you made a smart buying decision.

2005 is nothing j/k this was my old GS back in 2003. First q45 retro in the states. I know all about HIDS I had them back in 2001 before they made kits I was sourcing the parts at the junkyard from bmws and making custom adaptors for the bulb bases and hardwiring the ballasts. I know what you mean about the 100 hour color change and the optics. Reflectors will always have a lower color temp. I always loved the flicker with projectors. Back in the days of the e39, x5, and s2000. What color did you end up going with Phat? I also have the slim 3000k kit from ddtm. Y'all with this kit using the harness or just running it directly? If directly are you having any start up issues or flickers? I have the harness and was wondering if it was worth it since im going to buy another kit for my other car.

Lex, I went with the 4500s to try and match the lows. If I don't like that I'm going to order me some other bulbs. Might have to try a few different bulbs out until I find that perfect match.

Once I get these along with my nike lights in, I'll let you guys know how it comes out.
