I ordered their Hi/Lo H13 with 55w for headlights and 35w for fogs....both 5000K. Yes the Hi/Los are Bi-Xenon. I believe I got their slim ballast kit.

Yes they are, but not by as much as companies claim. DDM claims their 55w kits are 40% brighter than the 35w kits. That's a huge difference and I really don't believe it.

I bought them, though, because I drive down some really dark roads around here and need all the light I can get.

So considering I do most of my driving in town except for when the wife and I go back to our home town area in the country I should be fine with the 35 watt kit now how about the bixenon do the normal ones have a halogen bright and the HID lows or is it strictly an HID low nothing else? Have u had any problems with the bixenons? Also do they fit nice in the factory housing?

You'd be fine with 35w. Normal Hi/Los (not bi-xenon) have halogen highs, yes. It's two bulbs instead of one. The Bis have a little motor that changes the orientation of the HID bulbs when you flip it to high.

The Bis I bought have been flawless and they fit perfectly in the factory housing.

Both sets (heads and fogs) were around $200 shipped. Definitely worth it, IMO, because they have a lifetime warranty on the bulbs.


Here's when I got mine installed (shows before and after pics):
