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
