Did you go through their black friday page? Also keep in mind that bixenon kits are more expensive.

What kit did you pick? I priced out a bixenon kit with relay and it was only $85. If you don't need 9007 the morimoto kits are $150 with relay, at least they are from TRS.

You do realize that a single kit comes with two bulbs and two ballast along with a single relay which will wire both of them, so you don't have to order 2 kits.

Some people missed what i posted. DDM Bi-Xenon is cheaper for a reason. Its not a REAL Bi-Xenon setup. There bulbs go in/out of the socket producing a very small increase in output. Our Bi-Xenon kits, the bulbs tilt giving you a true high beam pattern. There is a big difference and unless you've tried both, it will be hard to know what im talking about unless you see the difference.

Why not get a hold of the DDM one and show pics of both side by side. It might move a few people your way.

The thing is, people who spend more money are always gonna bash the cheaper alternatives because its their way of justifying the money they spent. Me peraonally, I'm all about the deals. When I want any product, I always look for the alternatives to see if thwy are any cheaoer and how they stack up against the more expensive counterparts. Hell I've used ebay parts a lot including ebay turbos and have had good luck with all the parta I've bought.

On the subject of hids, any of them are gonna be better then stock lighting so who reallt cates what the price is? If you can get them cheaper then go for it.

Doh, you are right. I was thinking of the setup in the DEPO gen4s, where the high beam is a separate bulb.

Im gonna call bullshit on the "REAL bi-xenon" part here.....in/out versus up/down, really? They are all just bandaids/gimmicks for the fact that HID bulbs arent meant to be used in and dont work properly in halogen reflectors. The bulb tilting is going to move the HID arc in an arcing motion, that right there gives you the wrong light spread not even taking into consideration the HID arc itself is the wrong "shape"
Also remember that not all bulbs have there filaments arranged the same way, so while BHs up/down may be "better" for a 9007 bulb, its gonna be worse for a 9004, which is where DDM style in out would in theory work better, except for again, the HID is horribly misaligned to start in transverse bulbs and nothing will help those.

But the whole thing about these moving bulbs being better one way or the other just proves my point, its largely crap and unfortunately the guys selling dont know (or care) any better.

Not picking on you personally Mkulrey, its just I get sick and tired of all these gimmicky moving bulbs and other bullshit....which by the way this would probably be the "true best" solution for 9007s if their is such a thing.

Thanks maven, your pic proves my point, Our bulb tilts which puts it in that location of the second bulb on your picture. There is no in and out motion like all other kits. If someone wants to send me a DDM "Bi-Xenon" bulb i can do the test

i have had a pair of both the tilting and the in/out bulbs and the tilt works WAY better and does have a true high beam unlike the in/out

props for this post but the best solution is to get rid of the 9007 all together. if people really want **** proper then dual projector single hid or hid low, halogen high

Ahhh, but there is:



Pro - no moving parts, no chance of the bulb getting stuck on high or low position.

Con - need 2 ballasts per side.

Con - the high beam source will not be located in the original relationship with the reflector....but this may actually provide a little wider spread on the high beam.

Con - the low beam will still glare like a ****

I have never had a single failure with our bulbs "sticking". That is not an issue with our type of bulb.
