cool deal, Im thinking of getting another pair and adding existing ones as my high beams. Which ones did you all get the DDM Brand?

Highbeams are a different story. However HID's are not designed to be turned on and off. Thats why many cars do not come with HID's in the high beams, just the low beams only :) |
How long did it take you guys to get yours from DDM?

and yeah, i'll second that comment about the HIDs in high beams... don't do it. HID bulbs are meant to come on and stay on. all the OEM companies and every bit of reliable info out there says to be careful about turning your lights on and off again even within 5 minutes. it causes all kinds of unnecessary wear. there needs to be enough time for the lamp to come on and warm up. high beams would be a bad idea because you're always flicking them on, then off again when traffic comes. |
Good luck with the DDMs...mine lasted ~6 months.

i went with a 4300k bi-xenon set up. i have reflector housings and i have almost perfect cut off lines and everything. i got lucky with my car. i get flashed every now and then. not to often. but the bi-xenon works awesome. how it works is attched to the bulb is a small motor which simplys moves the bulb back and forth. when its in high beam mode it pulls the bulb back and allows more light of the lamp. low beam is the opposit. i glad i went with 4300k i wanted the stock hid look and whenever an acura TL pulls up next to me his light and mine are blended the same. ive had them in my car for about a year now and no problems at all. wish i had projectors though |

i guess its prob something to do with the projectors. |
had the 6000k's on my car, found it to be a little too blue for my taste and switched over to 4300k. love 'em.
on a side note, i also have 6000k's on my ninja, i love the blue look on the bike but man, when it gets dark that blue color just doesn't light things up as well as the 4300k's do |
I have an 8k kit and id like to switch over to a 6k cause its just a little too blue for me but its fine for now but in the rain with the blue I cant see anything.

I have 55w 5000k hid's in my car (with projectors) and once they finally warm up they are bright white with just a hint of light blue. the warmup is actually pretty cool with 55w because it goes from a light teal color, to purple, to blue and then to it's final color. I would never go below 5000k because it's just stupid. oh and whoever has hid's without projectors is a ****ing idiot. I don't care if they're leveled to the ground or not, it's annoying as hell.
|
I prefer the look of 6000Ks to the 4300Ks, but anything higher than 4300K and you actually lose light output. The bluer the light, the less it puts out.

4300k > all. kthxbaii

so glad i picked those kind. the idea of headlights is to see, having colored light serves no purpose to me, id rather see whats in front of me |
Yea, I really want to change to 4300.
|
Yea, I realized it tonight when I pulled up to Wawa and saw my headlights against the glass in the front of the store. The color just looks PERFECT.

My 5000k 55watt's are perfect. They're bright as ****, they're mainly pure white but have a slight hint of blue. They definitely stand out from regular halogen crap. |
6000k is legit.. white with a little blue tint.. 8000k is pushing it.. anything over is asking fora ticket foreal
|
4300k, the OEM hid color is my personal fav and what im using in my car.
