What do people think about DDM Tuning HID kits?

Possibility of a group buy?

I was going to buy from them to see if they were any good. But the $43 shipping killed it for me. Still looking for a place to buy.

If you start a group buy, let me know.

Thanks

I have DDM's 55w 6k kit in my MR2. It has been working perfect for 2+ years now. Lifetime warranty, too.

Looking at a 5k kit for my FRS from them. 6k was a bit too blue for me.

I ordered my set.. Still waiting a week and a half later.. Was shipped from china which I was unaware of.. Been in s.f. For 4 days now.. I guess waiting for customs??? Anyways.. Couple days later I just went ahead and got the quick kit from the retrofit source so I can have the proper projectors.. I'll run the ddm till I paint the headlights and install the retro fit kit and angel eyes... I also got the ddm in 6k and the TRS in 5k to see what I like more... The bulbs don't interchange.. I have heard nothing but positive about ddm on my gixxer.com forum.. That's why I went with them then found out about TRS

DDM is hit & miss in my experience.

I had issues with their 55Watt slim ballast (battery connected by relay harness) on my Celica.

I don't know who to trust these days for this kind of stuff. Sure some vendors charge much much more for their goods but are they necessarily any better? Are there vendors that offer high quality goods at normal prices?

Just cough up the dough for Morimotos from TRS. They are quality.
