the good thing with ddm's kits is their lifetime warrenty and those style of HID kits is the better kind the ones with just a single in are terrible I owned a set before and I had flickering issues

Unfortunately the set you got and the set Xander got were the same set.

Theres to much coincidence for me to believe you got the 1% bad kit... When two kits develop basically the same issues.

That's true... Oh well. I still consider it a good investment. I was able to see the difference in person, and drive a car with them in, and I really liked it.

Indeed. A learning experience all around.

took my high's out and put them in my low beams. I wasn't using high beams enough to warrent that I bought them so I sold the 35 watt kit and kept the 55 watt kit

PappaSmurf · 02-04-2011, 04:41 PM

Ryan,
YOu got anymore kits left? I need a 9007 35watt kit if you can get your hands on it, if not then I might have to go with a 55watt. I WILL NOT buy from anyone else!

Ryan doesn't sell these anymore. The company kept changing kits and varying quality.

Aftermath's kits are really good, but a bit more expensive.

The store that he gets them from. Aftermathd.i.c.k (no periods, obviously) His name is Richie. He used to own the blue decked out alero on the site. Not sure how to get a hold of him these days. I usually find him via facebook.

He's sold a bunch on here over the years. I know me and oldnuts have a kit from him. Full warranty bulbs and ballasts. (i had a ballast die, it was very painless to get a replacement)

+1 for Richie! I have 2 of those sets and no issues at all... One 9006 and one 9008 Bi-Xenon.

widbyj · 02-05-2011, 01:23 PM

Dittos - Retro Solutions is not the cheapest but their quality is very good. I'm using a Variable Power H1 set in my projectors and LOVE it. Good directions and a very complete setup/install package. Highly recommended! Enjoy!

Did anyone have a problem plugging in the hid bulb into the headlight? I can't seem to turn the bulb that quarter turn to the locking position. I don't want to breakthe bulb or the color stick. Idk wtf is going on lol.. Any suggestions?
