    I just want everyone to know that I placed my order (35w 5000k 9007's W/harness which they dont have either) with ddmtuning.com over 21 days ago. I've called them every week (per their request) to check on the status. Last week they told me they were expecting them next week (this week) so I waited till friday to call them, they told me it would be AT LEAST two more weeks before they were even going to get them???? So in theory, if they actually shipped two weeks from now, it would of been nearly 6-7 weeks before I got my hid's. That's insanity.

    While I was waiting on DDM a couple weeks ago i checked out VVME.com and ordered HID fog lights from them. I placed the order on a WED and got the lights Mon. The real kicker is they shipped all the way from Beijing CHINA ! Granted VVME was like 16 dollars more (who gives a S***) at least they were shipped quickly and were packaged very well. I've heard that DDM just throws everything in a box. The hids works very well and I'm very satisfied with them.

    Just letting everyone know my experience with both companies. Frankly, I don't care who you go with just thought I would inform everybody of how much DDM sucks.

    and ya why would you buy a 9007 Kit....

    anyway, DDM is prolly one of the best HID companies out there, they have a lifetime warrenty on the products. Try and find the Quality for the Price they provide elseware

    I bought from DDM...I had the same issues...poor packaging and it took nearly a month. Also....why wouldn't you buy a 9007 HID kit? It's just as good as the H1 kit for the crapjectors.

    I have 9007 HID's in my Cobalt and in woman's G5. Great light output...and I've seen plenty of Wbody's with HID's in the stock housings...I'm not seeing the issue. Maybe the Bonneville light output is crappy?

    I've bought from VVME in the past and I'll continue to buy from them because of the superior packaging knowing my bulbs are going to get here in one piece and the fact I get the lights within a week...and not before I turn 40.

    i had to mod mine to get more light.

    they still sucked.

    no high beams.

    couldnt drive in country at even the speed limit because they sucked that much.

    I think we had this discussion before.

    We did...but it was really an argument...and I think it boils down to how blind you really are...because my Cobalt lights (which are 5000k) and the G5's (they are 4300k) are brighter than sin. Factory housings...I also had 8K HID's in CLEAR factory housings and they were way brighter than my 8K HID's in my projectors. I know THAT is a fact.

    I ordered my h1 hid kit with a relay harness from ddm and a week after I ordered it I got the hid kit but not the relay harness. I called later that day wondering where it was and i was told ( after waiting on hold for 40 minutes) that they weren't in stock and that the shipment would be there " very VERY " soon and that I would receive an email when they were in stock. I still have no email and i even emailed them on Tuesday and still have no response back. By the way has anyone noticed that in the confirmation email they send you that where it says if you have any questions to email them at Https://www.ddmtuning.com/support? That's not even an email address! The hid kit seems like it's good quality for the money but they didn't even let me know that they were out of stock of the relay harness.

    vvme has had way better experience, costs more, and only has a 1 year warranty.

    ddm has mostly bad experience, but has cheaper prices and a lifetime warranty.

    Mine took like 2 weeks also, but they said it was because of something that was out of their control. otherwise i thought they were packaged nicely and they work perfectly.
