I used to recommend DDM, but since mkulrey13 is so active on here, with good prices, id like people to support his business. Buy from a cobalt owner who has good **** and a great warrenty

But then again Operatic at 3Bspec is my boi and like 2 years later his kit i bought from him is still running strong as hell plus he can put together some custom colors for ya. You want pink/green/custom blue/yellow/orange etc. HID's. Go to Operatic.

DDM tuning. Had their HIDs in three different cars and never had a problem.

My longest lasting HID kit I still currently have from them is now well over 3 years old.

I hear you are looking to buyHIDs?

There are lots of places to look when you want to buyHIDs. Do you want to buyHIDs from a company that doesn't even have buyHIDs in the web address?

When I was looking to buyHIDs, I found a local company who's owner was also on this forum and who also drove a cobalt. On top of that they were a contributing vendor, and have probably more "how to's" than just about anybody. When looking to buyHIDs, why not support a company that supports the community?

When you consider where to buyHIDs, consider Cost, Quality, and Warranty. I wanted to buyHIDs that were relatively inexpensive, made in the USA, and had a lifetime hassle free, NO COST warranty. I also wanted to buyHIDs that were plug and play, super easy to install, and looked cool as hell.

Maybe in the future you'll want to buyHIDs for other cars, or maybe buyHIDs for projector or custom retrofit headlights.... Maybe you'll want to buyHIDs for a car that you want to put a custom guage pod in, or buyHIDs for a car with custom LED interior pieces... or even one that you want to get Trifecta tuned.

If that's the case, I'd be looking to buyHIDs from somewhere I could get all of that in one place!

I can't tell you where to go to buyHIDs, but I can tell you that you won't be disapointed if you buyHIDs from the company in my sig....

Hope you enjoyed my subliminal mind control post!

lol.

DDM has probably the best Quality for cost for HIDs. they arent cheapo's thats for sure. But im not trying to undersell a supporting vendor here, just trying to give him his options.

OP,

BuyHIDS.com
DDMtuning.com
3BSpec.com

Those are you choices. Good luck.

I've never done business with ddm, but half the threads here say they are great and the other half is people that are having problems with something they got there and need help, so it's sorta 50/50.

I think the big difference between buyhids and ddm is the warranty.

Look at the difference between the warranty pages of ddm and buyhids.

http://www.ddmtuning.com/Content/Return-Policy
http://www.buyhids.com/faq.html

ddm = a WHOLE PAGE! lots of words, talk of shipping, deposits, fees, deadlines, timeframes, submitting tickets online, things might not be covered, etc.

buyhids = 8 words. 1 Year Hassle Free Warranty. No Questions Asked!


You don't even pay shipping on warranty items!
