ddmtuning $35 raptor HID kit w/ lifetime warranty.

35W 6K is pure white
35W 7K is probably what you want, white w/ a hint of blue.

You want an H7 kit.

DDM Tuning puts out legit kits. I should know, I have two sets. It's the colored bulbs that are retarded. I'm mean $28 versus $35 and I get a bulb that will last longer and draw less energy.

Can't get 7k, they have 5k, 6k, 8k. No 7k.

Here's the color chart from DDM Tuning.



Sometimes I feel like such a ricer for having 8k... I should have gotten 6k.

Yup i've order over 20 kits from them and non have gone bad. They were mostly for my friends up north cause I live 5 minutes away from ddm (SD). The thing is.. if down the line you realize that blue is not your thing it only cost $13 to get bulb replacements.

Good to know. I did have one ballast fail so I got to experience their warranty and it is pretty good. All I paid was $5 to ship the dead ballast to them and I had a new ballast within a week.

I'm saving up for the OEM hid kits and a whole headlight mod..
I really want the OEM HID because I like how they look and how they change colors depending on what angle youre viewing them. Here's what I want to get...

Morimoto Bi-xenon projector w/ clear lenses
OEM HID ballasts/ bulbs
CCFL Angle Eye kit
Yellow reflector removal

They should be pretty sick when I'm done but for eveything it's around $550.

yeah same here. I've probably ordered around 10 kits already and all works flawlessly. I love Ddm tuning kits. BEST bang for buck.
