HID's

Who runs them ? If so which ones ? Looking for something that's a direct replacement ( no cutting/ drilling to install)

Want them for the fogs too ?

Anyone ?

Thanks fellas !

I have them for both head and fog lights. Look at ebay, order them based on the bulb. You can get them to plug right in from the bulb plug on the fog lights. I've not seen one that is plug and play for the head lights. But it's just two wires...

I've always used DDM Tuning. They are near me in Huntington Beach. I've never had any problems with them. I've ran them in my street bike, wife's avalanche and 2 superdutys so far. $40 a pair, plug and play.
I always run the 5k bulbs. I like the super white. No hint of blue for me.

I had the DDM and they are OK.
Now I have kits from Retro Solutions and they are a lot better for a little more $.
I have put them in 6 cars & trucks and they all have been great.
I have the 55w 5000k sets and they are bright.

Hey man, I have a pair of HID headlights for my truck that i took off, they are not even a year old. Got them from DDM tuning, lifetime warranty. If my brother doesnt take them i will give them to you if you are not far and the shipping isnt that much. I hate to see them go to waste. they are the 6000, very bright.

HIDs would be nice especially the super bright white ones, like BMW. also, correct me if i'm wrong, don't the HIDs also draw less power than a regular bulb setup?

They do, other then start-up...

To the OP, one thing to know/consider is with a standard kit, you do lose your high beams...

I took them off because one was not comming on all the time. After checking the ballast and bulb i finally gave up and put my factory lights back on. I then figured out i had a bad connection somewhere in the truck but im too lazy to reinstall them. If anything goes wrong you can get ddm to give you brand new for free. lifetime warranty. I kept my hid fog lights that i put on. those things are brighter than my headlights and they are only the 3000.

On the DDM kits. Do you need to get the HID harness an error kits. I'm lookin at getting the 55w 6000 or 8000 kit.

Call the Huntington Beach location and ask for Danny. He's great to wrk with and will answer your question about the kit and bulb color. Dont forget that if you go with a 55w kit, a 8k bulb will look like a 6k bulb of a 35w kit. The higher wattage washes out the color a bit. I believe Danny told me about 2k worth.
