**gordster1122** · 12-04-2012

just wanted to know if anyone orders from DDM Tuning and how they are with service and shipping before i order from them????
just hear they take forever with shipping etc....

Crap; I hated my DDM stuff.

But that's just me...I order from VVME.

How's the ddm/vvme stuff compared to the morimotos?

**REDCRAPGP** · 12-04-2012

Well all made by the Chinese so it's a hit or miss. Difference w/ Moromitos is I noticed its similar to how oem ballast tend to run that they get bright very quick inline the other kits I had that took 45sec and 1min to achieve its full brightness (not a big deal since you should be letting the car run for a few minutes prior to driving it) also quality is close to oem. Lifetime warranty and guys over at TRS have exactly customer service..very quick and easy to contact them. It's all a personal preference but because of those reasons I choose the Moromitos > cheap Chinese kits.

my order from DDM took 31/2 weeks,other than that, they work like those darn reflector HIDs work...they also answered the phone on my first try. In retrospect I wish I would have researched just a little bit more,because I for sure would have just coughed up the extra 75monies to get some TRS projectors,which I know doubt will eventually end up doing

my other question is does anyone run relay harness on there grand prix for extra safety because i hear you should always use them or you dont need to was just wondering cause i dont use one on my grand prix i was a 35w hid kit

I ran without a harness for my fogs and headlights in my 01 gt for three years, I had no problems whatsoever. But when I do my retro I'm gonna run a harness, better safe than sorry IMO

x2 on what HVACgtp said...for a few dollars more, it IS really cheap insurance and peace of mind

**HVACgtp** · 12-07-2012

if you spend a lil extra cash and get a morimoto elite kit for 150 it comes with a harness

Uummmm not really a lil xtra, it's double the price. Lol

**HVACgtp** · 12-10-2012

IMO you get what you pay for. How much is the kit your looking at? Because 150 for a nicely built kit with a warranty including a harness, 150 isn't bad at all

USA made > Chinese made

-Would you rather speak/email a American or Chinese speaking person if you have a warranty issue.
-Wait weeks to ship a defective product back or wait a few days?
-Quality kit > cheaply made

You get what you pay for....

Which hid kit is USA made, cause to this day I have not seen a single hid kit made in USA. Or am I missing something?

**REDCRAPGP** · 12-10-2012

IIRC Morimotos is but I may be mistaken. What I should of emphasize is that I rather deal with a company selling hid/projectors out of Atlanta, GA then Sun Wang, China is you catch my drift. Plus they emphasize more on doing hid w/ projectors and doing it the right way vs the glare you get from hids in a reflector based housing. And just a FYI their customer service is amazing..best I've dealt with to date.

I looked on their website, engineered in the USA developed in Taiwan, still better than china since Taiwan is one of our allies. And same here red, I'd much rather have and American speaker contact then try and go through a interpreter lol. Well worth the extra pennies, plus you can tell they are more catered to the enthusiast, hence their kits only go up to 6k, not "furple"
