I just want to know where is the best place to buy HID's on the internet for around 100$ at the most. And also what brightness and stuff should I get?

DDM for sure. Cav was the one who originally refered them to me as well. Lol. Pics on my car domain. I have 55w 12k lows & 55w 10k highs. Mine are the slim balast style. The 55w kits are an extra $10. $20 shipping. Easy install, very happy with them. Many members on here have them as well. Never seen a single complaint. Refer to the HIDs install how to. It's spot on. Only takes a few minuets.

get 6k's 8k is too blue in my opinion ( ive run with both ) but when I buy HID's I buy them for praticality not on how they look since I find 6k's work much better but still have that slight of blue.

I own a 55 watt kit from ddm had to get 8k from them to make it look like 6k since the 55 watt washes out the color from bieing brighter

And I will say this. When I got my second kit for my bike, one of the ballasts didn't work. sent it in, and got a replacement within the week. They are great people! I love the fact that it's not that expensive, and the lifetime warranty you get on the ballasts is awesome!

Yeah DDM is awesome..if you're buying from them, you may need a wiring harness because some of us had problems when you start up your car, your HIDs wont have enough power to turn on. So they'll stay off until you flick your high beams on and off.

If you want optimum brightness, then you want 4300k..going higher gives it a bluish look at the cost of how much light is outputted..im running 5000k..its got a slight blue with pretty good light output.

I have that problem right now, iv switched out bulbs and ballasts with other ones and it's not a faulty part. It's recamnded on there site that if your running them for highs and lows like me you get a harness anyway. Do I need one harness for each one? Or will one harness on each side be able to be set up for both highs and lows?

Quick questions when ordering. What bulb type? Do I need the harness? And what do the error eliminator and the adapter cables do?

you have an 03 you will need the harness.

are you ordering low beam? if so then 9006

are you ordering high beam? if so then 9005.

all other cables and stuff you don;t need other then bulbs ballast and the harness
