I use The Retrofit Source online: headlight upgrades for all applications for all my stuff. They might not always be the cheapest but I can pick up the phone and talk to a real person when I need to and that's important to me. They also ship immediately. As in ship, not generate a tracking number and maybe get to the post office some time in a week or two.

I used the retrofitsource.com for my car. and Xentec for my bike. Both work perfect. I order from a local on the R6 forums. Ships fast. Cali-WV in days

Xentec HID

Our new generation of HIDs are top notch. Also we carry all theretrofitsource.com parts for less and ship direct from them were only a PM, email, text or phone call away!

TRS or nothing. I've used retro-solutions too and would be my second choice if you didn't want to go TRS. I just installed my TRS fog light kit last nite and is flawless in every way. Everything else is CRAP!!!

I've never had a problem with DDM, one of my ballasts blew about a 2.5 years ago and they replaced it with no problems. The one ballast I have is still the original and its getting close to 5 years old now. I did wait a little while for them to arrive after I purchased them though. I also have Mini H1's from TRS. I have nothing bad to say about either company.

I've had my hid hi/low 6k kit for 3 years now. zero probs. yes it takes between 1 to 2 weeks to get here but you have warranty for life(and thats not ur typical jump through hoops bullshit, call and new parts are on the way).

the company that makes the aftermarket kits for ddmtuning is the same company that produces OEM hids, headlights, taillights for bmw/mini. its German not Chinese bro.

That's funny I've ordered multiply packages and they all come through Chinese customs. Emails even state they ship from their Chinese warehouse. But maybe they ship outta there now, havent ordered from there in over s year.. I've had a high/beam low beam box go bad and after fighting on the phone for 30 minutes I gave up. Ddm is garbage and has went down hill over the years. $20 bucks on shipping for two bulbs. Really? Gtfo out. Ordered once when it was Chinese New Year and took over a month to get my kit.

Ill stick with the retrofit source. Everything is high quality there and the shipping is almost instant

Make sure your wiring harness is pinned for 9007 and not 9004.



I also recommend The Retrofit Source. Retrofitting is the only way to upgrade to HIDs if you want it done RIGHT.
