    how long did it take to get those ? ddm used to be awesome till they sold more then they could put out and sold out on some cheap chit parts. I bought a kit took forever to get it, and the ballasts blew the bulbs then killed themselves in 2 days, I ordered 2 kits because they were on sale, so far the second kit has held up for about 7 months now...

    Im going back to ebay kits after this. never had a problem in my kit that I bought in 05 till the bulbs went out 7 months ago

    DDM also sells the house just make sure you get the right size. Ebay has some for about $20-$50 depending on the style you want. I got my DDM kit for about $50 with slim ballasts and have never had a problem with them yet. I got the 35watt low beam 8000k and its pleanty bright www.ddmtuning.com

    I have 6k on my bike and they are blueish, with cheaper bulbs the KV rating kind of goes out of wack..true pure white is from 4300-5k

    I think 55 watt is the highest you can buy, but if you know what your doing you can open up your ballasts and boost them higher than that

    I dont like ddm too much. I had multiple ballasts go out on me, 2 were Dead on arrival. they are good priced, ive heard their shipping has been very slow lately... good bang for your buck though. I think most are hit or miss.
