Ddm hids

Is DDM a reputable company? I'm reading some decent reviews here, but some horror stories online. Go figure, found the horror stories after i ordered... lol. Thank goodness I used my AMEX in case I need to dispute.

I also placed an order with DDMtuning.com. I've heard nothing but good things about them. A few guys here at work made orders with them and are completely satisfied.

However, I placed my order over 3 weeks ago! I have received about 2 emails from them every week telling me my order is on back order. Maybe something with the Japan earthquake has slowed their shipping.

Anyway still waiting on my order. Thats all the input I have about them so far.

Nothing but good things from the folks I've talked to (I know quite a few that have them). I'll be ordering from them when I'm ready to get mine.

I've bought two sets from DDM. The units were packaged well and have worked without issue. Mine included and I would recommend the wiring harness (battery power line) to ensure the ballasts get sufficient current.

I have purchased 2 separate orders from them 1st time I bought the larger ballast ones and they came in within a week. I then ordered the slim ballast for my motorcycle 3 weeks ago and just got them yesterday.

Good service though and quality product!

I have nothing but good things to say about them, and currently have their kit in my 4runner.

They work. How can you go wrong with $35 HIDs with a lifetime warranty including the bulbs. Halogen bulbs are even more expensive. Their hid bulbs are only $15. If you are also installing them on your fog light, make sure to use a relay kit - my '07 didn't work until I installed the relay kit.

So I get another e-mail from ddmtuning.com. Apparently after 7 emails and 3.5 weeks my order has been shipped. I finally got a tracking number with this last email so I looked it up to see where my lights are and well..

Your item left SUZHOU EMS, CHINA PEOPLES REP on March 30, 2011

I ordered a 5000k set with the wiring harness a few days ago, hopefully i get them in the next month! Sounds like they're pretty slow but I can't complain for such a good price! If this set works out, I may get some for my fogs as i seem to keep blowing one of the halogens every couple months at this point!

Newbie on HIDs

Hi there… wondering if someone could help clarify what DDM Tuning kits are needed fro the headlights and what are needed for fog lights? Or are they the same… any input would be greatly appreciated!

I bought from them a few months ago and got my HID kit within 2 weeks.

(I think it took a few days for it to indicate "shipped," but 2 weeks isn't bad.)
