Ok, I called DDM Tuning and they said the only difference is is that the slim is slimmer and that the Raptor is analog in and digital out. He said that if you hooked one up on each side that you would not notice the difference. So since i don't feel like wasting an extra 40 bucks and I think I can handle the size i'm going to go with the Raptors. Thanks Mblouir and everybody else for the help!

 

analog in digital out meaningggg? might interfere with radio?

 

Very likely, depending the audio system power supply filtering. Guess we'll find out.

 

They said they're wouldnt be any difference than the slim. They said the only thing you need to consider when deciding if the size really matters.

 

so pretty much you want a fully digital system to prevent any radio interference. does DDM or Raptor offer that? if not, ill go with retro solutions who also has a LT warranty.

 

I think the Slims are fully digital...pretty sure

 

They said the analog in digital out has nothing to do with anything other than very technical things that pretty much wouldn't bother anybody but a technician he said. If I were you i'd just save my money and go with ddm Raptor kits.

 

They are ("Fully digital, draws less than 6 amps at start up and 3.4 amps at normal operating temperature") - that's one of the reasons I went with them.

I don't KNOW that you'll have interference issues, but I'd rather not take a chance (I have Sync, Nav, and Sony - lots of opportunties for issues) so I went with the slim (DDM).

 

I have both my headlights and fog lights as RaptorV2 kits, and have not noticed any difference in radio pickup. I don't know why that tech said they are analog in, digital out. The site clearly states that both kits they sell are fully digital.

Anyways, glad you got your HIDs ordered Brent! I hope to have a installation How-To posted this weekend on how to install the DDM Bi-xenon kit.

 

if your tight on money , i wouldnt bother with the fog lights unless you really need the extra light.

i wound up selling my hid fogs b/c i never used them

the heads are plenty bright

 

I went ahead and bought the fog lights as well as the hi/lo kit. I bought them in the 5k color. The reason I bought the fogs was just to match them. I ussually have them on all the time.

 

hope you like em' do a new write up when you get em' tell us how you like them and show us some pics

Did you go with the Raptors ?

 

Yep.

 

I went with 6000k DDM slims 55w heads and 35w fogs and I think they match each other fairly well.



Sorry bout the crappy pics....but you get the idea

 

Lights look good sledman!
