Ddm tuning slim ballast is fantastic! I can't rember what I paid but it was like forty bucks and after a year they still run perfectly.

Hmmm I have no idea but if there is no warranty I wouldn't be surprised at all. I mean you're only investing like forty bucks so you have to expect that they may not last forever. At this point you could choose to buy them again or pay for something of higher quality.

There's some sort of warranty. I've heard of people sending their stuff back in before. I have had DDM HID's for almost two years now without any issues

Both DDM kits supposedly now come with lifetime warranty, but I couldn't find what the warranty covers.

I have their previous versions of their Raptor kit (analog ballast) and my passenger side burned out recently, but it lasted ~2.5 years.

I got some from retro solutions.com. I read somewhere on here that they were really reliable, plus it comes with a lifetime warranty I believe.. they're just a little pricey :dblthumb:

Dont get the DDM Raptor kits, at least if you have auto headlights. I have them, they always misfire upon starting the car.

Oh please don't tell me you're gonna be one of those guys out there that will be running HID kt on a stock halogen headlight and bilnd the $hit out of all on coming traffic :facepalm: So freaking Rice :tisk: What you should do is to do it right and treat your car to a set of custom made performance projector headlights from Dangeris Lumenations and nt thoe POS eBay ones. Those guys KNOWS how to make headlights and customize it to your car. Can't you see one of these on your car?

^ yeah the last kit i bought from them came straight from china too. if you think your HID kits that you buy from anywhere else come from somewhere else, you're wrong. they just get shipments of them then send them out from wherever their business is located.

i picked up a xentec kit off ebay for like $35 shipped i think for my coupe. works fine.
