Which HID's For Me

Ok it looks like ddmtuning is the place where everybody is getting there hid's from. Ok I want a 35w white light kit maybe a hint of blue hardly none at all. Ive read the charts but what is everybody else getting? Will the kit come with everything i need? I dont really need high beams since i never use them. Also I got a Polaris RZR do they make a kit for it? Thanks

I just ordered a set from DDM last night. 35w 6k for my heads and fogs. When I get them I'll let you know how they turn out and if everything is included. I called them as well and they said I did not need any of that extra stuff like the relay, error thing and what not.

do not get a plug and play kit. you will blind everyone and be a hazard on the road. please do it right and retrofit a true HID system.

You don't have to retrofit, don't waste the money plug and play is fine, i got a ddm 35w 8k kit and it's fine, nice and bright but not too bright, even with the lift i'm not blinding anyone. I haven't been flashed once. If you want a white HID then go for the 6k like pwheels

That's because the glare your producing is so much they can't find their MFS in order to flash you.

OP, if your getting a kit from DDM, the absolute best option is a 35W 5000K slim ballast kit. This will provide the whitest light with the slightest hint of blue like you are wanting. 4500K will be pure white, with no blue.

IMO, save your money for a little bit, and retrofit a set of projectors in. You will thank yourself later.

Yeah, I have my truck leveled and even cars with the crappy plug and play kits will blind me. So there's no way a truck isn't blinding anyone. I hate to nag, but the simple fact is stock reflector lights are not made for HID lights. Its plain and simple.

5000K is pure white
4300K is a hint of yellow for maximum luminosity
