You need the bixenon(low/high)
Only somewhat blue. If you want blue go with 8000k.

alll this is true....on DDM's website it talks of how much Lumens each wattage provides.....

i don't know exactly what the little extra can offer but most say you cant tell the difference.

I believe I will purchase 35W 9007's # 4500 or 5000K and the 35W H11's at the same Kelvin...
Haven't heard a complaint yet on these DDM's

Check Ebay. Most companies aren't selling the led bar because they are so problematic. Might still be some though.

As for these DDM's I will definately be getting the Slim Ballast 35W 9007Hi/Lo but because I'm in Canada and I will always be running DRL's I'm thinking that getting the relay harness (http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p...=133&parent=94) will be a good idea and reduce the chances of these things flickering and or going out?

damn there's so much rubbish in this thread.

There are only 11100 topics on HID's in this forum. You can't run DRLs since they run at a lower wattage on a halogen bulb. HID's will flicker and burn out if you run them without disabling your drls.

Anything about 6k is a waste (search and find out - one example is driving in the rain). ANYTHING HID in a halogen housing designed for a halogen bulb is a waste as the light scatters and isn't concentrated like a halogen bulb is. Sticking HID bulbs in a halogen projector is okay (better than Halogen reflector housing), but still not as good as a ballast designed for a D2S or D2R bulb.

Anything else you newbs would like to know?
