DDM Hid question
Hey guys. I just got my DDM Tuning Slim HID kit today and am trying to install them right now. However I cannot get them to work. The instructions on the ddm site do not make any sense.
So if someone could please tell me really quick what connects to what, I would greatly appreciate it!

Nevermind, I got it. The way the tabs are on this kit suggest the wrong polarity. I just flipped the connector over and BAM!
Just incase anyone else has that problem...

Same problem here
The fogs have no plugs, just 2 prongs for the light connection. Use a lot of electrical tape

Did anyone get an HID kit for their High Beams?
I am about to order them, but looking for opinions on which ones. I am thinking about getting 55w 8k's. I have 35w 6k's for lows.

I have the 55w 5000k for my lows and was thinking of doing the same for my highs. Would that make enough difference or not cause I would suggest probably doing the same type of bulb you have for lows to highs.

Took this off the site:
55w kits tend to wash out some of the color of the HID bulb due to the light output( for example, a 55w 8000k will look similar in color to a 35w 6000k kit).
Thats why Im thinking of going with a higher power (55w) and temp that is just a little higher (8k) to match my lows.
So

Well then...I didn't read that part. That's some good info! What you have in mind sounds good then. I might need to up my highs to 55w 8000's then too or 6000's.

i ordered the high beam hids, at 5000k. i didn't want blue. i should be getting them in the next few days here. i did get 6000k for the low beams because i wanted a light blue color. i dont think it matters for the high, i wanted the most light possible and no one should really see the light color for the high beams. they shouldn't be close enough to notice the blue, and that it matches the low beams. they'll be in too much pain from their eyes burning to see

Or you could just be smart and save your money. I'll never need my highs on again with 35w 6000k lows. Besides you don't have much room to mount both kits nicely

The Quality for the price is outstanding. The low beam 35w 6,000k throw light pretty far too! Im currently contemplating upgrading the highs as well. Is there still a ridiculous wait period for shipping?

Did anyone get the dual in/out harness? I'm about to invest in this and was wondering if it would be a good idea for the harness.

What do you mean dual in/out harness? Pics?
If you mean a wiring harness, then they are not really necessary. Only if they flicker or only one of them lights up should you need a harness. |

There's an option on DDM's website for either the Raptor or slim kits for a dual in/out harness thats $15 extra. I have no idea what it is, but figured I should check before I make a purchase. |
