They only carry a 2.5" projector, for the same price you can get a D2S 3" threaded body projector from DDM.
All the other components look pretty standard for the industry. I would just buy from wherever you can get all the parts you need. That way you don't get double dinged for shipping.

Nobody should give DDM a dime of their money ever again.

TRS HID controllers are junk. Replaced 2 before giving up and getting a relay pack. Service was generally good and replacement was hassle free. Good service doesnt make up for random controller failures and having no headlights.

When you say "controller" are you talking about the ballasts or what? Their customer service is why I'm willing to spend my money with them. I had a ballast start to have issues just past the warranty period, they were more than willing to hook me up with a big discount on a replacement since they had stopped carrying the ones I had issues with, but that was years ago.
The point of my link wasn't really about TRS though, more about how shady of a company DDM is.

You're welcome to pay twice as much for the exact same product. DDM's customer service has treated me fine so far; companies in this day and age don't generally last long if they have terrible customer service. I'd advise not letting your wallet get caught up in the pithy drama between two companies who simply resell China's B-shift HID offerings.

Eh, the ~$350 I spent on a FX-R retro kit from TRS 5 years ago has lasted through 2 different car retros, and is waiting to be disassembled to go into the Toyota, so I'd say I've gotten my money's worth. I'm pretty sure the reason DDM is still around is because of the sport bike and ricer communities keep buying their garbage. It's so cheap, when they have a problem they just toss the entire thing and buy a new one, whereas I'm still using the original bulbs that came with my kit. It's no secret that DDM has a reputation for being garbage, people just buy it because it's cheap garbage.

HID antiflicker controller, motocontroller.
DDM has issues, TRS has issues. At least with DDM you know you're getting junk and at a cheap price.

Gotcha. None of my cars have been CANBUS so I haven't had to deal with running anything for anti-flicker purposes.
Quality aside, it doesn't change that DDM bought TRS merchandise, intentionally caused it to fail by their own doing, and then starting posting online calling the product junk. That's a pretty dick move on their part.
