They shipped mine on the 1st and they came on the 5th. They're backordered again til the 10th.

 

I finally bit the bullet & ordered some. I'm also waiting for my 6000k H7 & 3000k H11 raptor kits from DDM. Once I get everything installed I'll post up some pictures.

 

What HID kits is everybody going with for these? H7 is the size i assume? But like hi/lo or just the normal H7s etc... Are you running just the lows? or highs too? or just keeping the normal bulb in the highs? I have a H11 DDM kit ordered for my fogs, and i'll be buying the Gen4's this week, just need to figure out which HID kit to buy, and make sure i can do the install...

 

I'm using a DDM h7 4500k kit.

 

I just realized that there is no H7 Hi/Lo kit lol, oops. Thats only for 9007. I take it you just run normal bulbs in the highs? But don't use them?

I'm going to get the chrome gen 4's i think for my imperial blue, but go with the 6000k DDM kit.

 

Take a look at my car. The chrome looks really good with blue.

 

looks clean!

 

Well the gen 4's got here and im still waiting for the hid's. However after 3 days the driver side gen 4 has what looks like heat stress cracks in it. Its not horrible but im waiting for word back from the company. As far as lighting goes. Even with the stock bulbs in there its definitely better than stock lighting with stock bulbs.

 

A lot of people who run the stock bulb first have that problem. I ran hids since day one. I haven't had the problem yet.

 

yeah im waiting for a response back. oddly enough its only on one side.

 

Well i had an order in at DDM for the H11 6000K kit for my fogs, but needless to say i know which headlights i'm going to get therefore i figured i better buy the HID kit to go a long with it, so my order hadn't shipped yet so i called up DDM got them to add a H7 6000K kit. Now on pay day friday i'll be ordering my Gen 4s! Can't wait!

I love the look of the chrome on the blue! Shows me what my car will look like :P Once again, the waiting game is on again, ugh how i hate waiting for stuff in the mail.

 

My ddm kits will be here friday. DDM kept pushing back the date on me so I finally just installed the Gen 4's. shouldve beem more patient! But I do love the light output even from the stock bulbs in the gen4s. lol though I need to aim the lowbeams down some as the highbeams really arent any brighter

Now on day 4.
You can see the cracks in the lense in these 3 pics.




The company is waiting on these pics then are supposed to be shipping out a replacement. So im still happy with the service and the lights.

If you want a front shot sorry I really dont have any true full shots that the car isnt wet. its been raining a fair amount here.

 

Wow. That's bad. Now I know what to look for.

 

some1 help me out with 55 watt ballasts or not https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/appearance-48/whats-deal-55-watt-ballasts-208209/

 

^thats why im done with aftermarket lights, the plastic they use for the lens is super cheap on all of them

 

Cordia, so they're shipping you out just the one replacement light or a whole new set?

Damn I hope I don't have this problem. I'm getting mine on Friday through UPS.

 

How do you aim the low beam and high beams? i just bought these last week and had them put them on and for the first time i drove my car at night with the new lights and the right side is higher than the left... if you could pm me that would be great thanks

 

over time they all get it.......

 

Think just one but im unsure will keep everyone informed.

theres a lil gear kinda between the lowbeam and high beam theres a spot for a phillips screw driver on that gear. Just turn that with a screw driver to adjust the height. I think it only adjusts lowbeams though on mine thats all that needs adjusting.

 

So these lights all crack no matter what? I was hoping to pick up some chrome ones without HIDs (they look to ricey). Its the heat that makes it crack, or something else?

 

yes its the heat, there expansion cracks.....stick with stock/retro fits, you cant beat stock quality.

 

So basically unless I go with HIDs, don't bother?

 

Just for an update from me, still waiting for the replacement headlight from the ebay memeber. I would not recomend imv1 anymore. At first they seemed very helpful, now I can never get a straight answer out of them and they have had my money and my defective headlight for 3 weeks. They said they shipped the replacement out 3 weeks ago and still havent got it. They wont even provide me a tracking number when I ask. I'm getting very impatient here!
End rant!

 

Hids have nothing to do with the cheap ass plastic the lens is made out of.....its the environment that destroys them.

I would try to just get your money back man.

 

Chrome or Black for the Imperial Blue? I'm stuck.. lol.
