for some reason, ur bulb on the pics looks smaller or shorter, is that H11 size? My previous H11 HID bulb and my new one are same size, which is longer than yours. kinda wierd.

yes photos please!! how long was the install?

Cajun · 01-08-2013, 06:37 PM

Ordered from amazon- yes they are h11.
Install was very simple. Took about 20 minutes, not including the time to figure out where to put the ballasts. I ended up using zip ties, not the screws and brackets that come with the kit.
It really is all plug and play. I did have to use electrical tape on those two wires that go into the factory plug. Just because I was nervous that they would come un done while driving. The bulbs themselves didn't just snap in like the factory ones do, it took a little pressure to get the plastic notches to cooperate to where I could lock it into place. (I mean snapping into the final position. The bulb fit the socket perfectly, it just took a little time to get it in the hole- that's what she said)

Pics to come shortly. It's pouring outside right now.

I'm considering ordering the 6k bulbs, they are only $20. But I'm scared they'll be bluer than my 6k LED lights, which will look even dumber.

Also, I suck at installing things, and this was simple. I'm a girl, so I'm pretty proud of myself for not screwing it up

Hello, I have a toyota Gt 86, what types of HID and Led do I have to purchase for all my headlights including the fogs ?

Thanks guys

Cajun · 01-08-2013, 07:56 PM

Look at the group buy section in this forum. They have many vendor threads selling HID and LED bulbs. I have LEDs in every socket (will be installing dual front turn signals this weekend), and I bought all of them from this forum. As far as HID kits, you can get them here or anywhere for that matter, bulb size is H11.
If you put LED turn signals, you'll need to replace the relay. I don't know if u have to replace the relay for HIDs. Mine was already replaced so I didn't have to worry about it

Don't know why everyone is spending so much on his plug n play kits, ddmtuning has them for $40 plus shipping with no extra wires to worry about. Simple plug and play. No guess work

Good question- I've never heard of them.

Trust me 6000k is not blue at all. Ever so slightly blue that you can't even notice. I've been running 6000k for the past 5 years. I'm very particular in keeping my cars look classy and not rice rocket-ed out

After the relay, mounting brackets, shipping and 35w h3 hids I ended up spending about 75+ bucks on my hid fogs through them. They charged me 13 bucks shipping when im only a few hours away from their warehouse.

UPDATE: returning these bad boys today. One side stopped working. Unplugged, replugged, nothing. Unplugged, replugged, and one of those prongs snapped off (inside the original socket). No way would these last a significant amount of time, cause of the prongs. They don't snap in the original socket, they just slide in, and need electrical tape to somewhat stay in. Seller was very helpful and offered a full refund. Will definitely check out the DDM hid's
