    If you are looking to purchase HIDs let me suggest you use a different company than DDM. I wish I had. I had to wait 2 and 1/2 weeks for delivery from China. When they got here the box was beat all to hell. One of the BOW cancel devices was busted. I contacted the company and they shipped a replacement but that was 10 days ago and it has yet to arrive. I went ahead and installed the low beams and realized it wasn't needed but that's not the point. Also, one light is bright white and one has a slight yellow look. Now I'm looking at replacement bulbs. I ordered a set for my fogs from another company and have had no problems. Just my two cents.

    here's the thing. DDM is CHEAP in the world of HIDs, so quality isn't the highest. If you want straight quality you have to pay more than $30 a kit. and yes their stuff is sent from china on the cheapest shipping...AKA box will be demolished and it takes roughly 2 weeks for delivery. A few years ago all items bought were shipped in a DDM box and they came from California, but times are tough and...well...yay made in china stickers! however I have purchased over 10 kits for myself, friends, and family with no gripes or moans. and even if there is a defective component (I had ONE ballast go bad), they will ship you a free replacement with no questions asked. that's a hell of a deal for $30 with a lifetime warranty if you ask me, you cant find that anywhere else. everyone has their opinion but I am pro DDM fooo shooooo

    Those boxes go through customs so expect them to be banged up... Shipping does take a little while also
    I been very happy with DDM I know of 10+ sets with zero issues... People say there low-quality I'm curious to try something else of high-quality!!! Lol

    I'm glad others have had better luck. If I jumped into the haystack, I'd land on the needle every time.

    If you are going to convert to HID, make sure you spend the money to get a quality ballast and bulbs. I am in love with my HID kit and plan to get some retros so I stop blinding people.
