Light it up! - HID Kit

I recently put in my gen 3 halos, the performance is great, i love it. other than the lows aren't very bright being they are the tiny little h1 bulb, but anyways i just ordered 10000k hids from ddm tuning for my low beams and my fog lights. was just wondering if anyone else has had or seen 10000k from ddm tuning and if it's going to be considerably brighter than what i'm using now... which is stock. Also going to order either 5000k or 6000k for the high beams, wondering which i should get for them as well, on the highs i'm going for the BRIGHT AS HELL effect. will the 55w burn the housing??

why would you put 6k's in your high beams? thats just stupid. just go with a good light in your lows and will never have to use the high beams. or be a baller like me with some custom bi-xenon retrofits

i'm going for the blue look with the lows and fogs. thats why i ordered 10000k. I want the brights to be bright as jesus though. I just want to know if the 10000k is going to be noticeably brighter than the stock halogens and what to get for the high beams to be as bright as possible.

dont go hid in your high beams as there is a delay for the bulb to warm up, so you would have a period with no lights lol


but DDM FTW! dont buy that other overpriced crap

i woulda went with the retrofits, but i had already ordered the gen 3 halos and i'm not going to return them since they work just fine.

would 55w 6000k be good or would they burn the housing?
