Freddy your killin me, they look great

a few quick questions :

did you buy the relay ?

and are they truly plug and play ?


for $50 and a lifetime warranty, you got me thinkin


OP: dont bother with HID4U , horrible customer service.

but i ve got so say those $80 hids did last me one year

 

Couple of new pix real quick with the fogs installed. H13 55W 6000K heads and H10 35W 5000K fogs.

IDNC76, I didn't buy the relay harness. DDM Tuning said I should be fine without it.

The fogs were true plug-n-play. The heads were not. The H13 harness they provide didn't fit; the prongs were turned the wrong way. So I used the supplied wiring harness adapter. Used a wire tap to tap the hot from the stock harness, and I actually chose to ground the ground wire to the truck instead of wire tapping the ground from the stock harness.

30 minutes to install the heads and mount the ballasts. About 15 minutes for the fogs.

You can see that the heads didn't really wash out any color so there's a little bit of a color difference. Bu hopefully DDM will be kind enough to send me replacement H10 35W 6000Ks. We'll see.

 

I agree with Freddy, I just installed some HIDS from the same company has his except i got 55w 8000k for the headlights and 35w 8000k for the fogs..It was a very simple install and they look great.

 

ugacoop16, no pix = no install. lol.

 

thanks, pics look great

did you find anyplace on there site that shows pics of the temp colors ?

and last question

any particular reason you went with the apexcone kit , over the other 2 ?

 

I don't recall actual pix on their site with regards to color/temp. I think I just googled for color/temp pix.

Went with the Apexcone simply b/c they were cheaper and figured there was plenty of room to install so I didn't really need the slim ballasts. They were out of stock for the Apexcones for my fogs so they actually sent me the slim ballasts for the fogs.

 

I hear ya man...I am waiting for it to get dark in good old Atlanta, Georgia before I take some pics...Ill post them up in an hour or two haha

 

hey fellas, i'm thinking about getting a set from retro-solutions. This might be a stupid question but, if i was to get a new truck could I switch them from my old truck to the new one?

 

Anything is possible. It would be very easy if your next truck has the same size bulbs, ie H13 heads and H10 fogs. You would just uninstall them and plug in the stock bulbs. If the new truck has different size bulbs, you would have to buy new bulbs, but you could reuse the ballasts. You may have wire tap to the new truck's stock wiring harness, but you wouldn't have to buy new ballasts.

 

Do you know if the 09 F-150 uses the same bulb? I wouldn't have any other truck haha

 

Alright Freddy here ya go

 

edit....

 

pretty sweet man!

 

The only thing is i think they shipped me 6,000k rather than 8,000k but i dunno i guess I will just keep it.

 

Anyone that bought from DDM tuning, did you get the standard H13 or with H13 with the hi/lo.
