Aftermarket HIDs

Got mine from DDM. Great product ie plug n play, but CS leaves a lot to be desired. Getting a live person on the phone can be a real trial of perseverance and patience. Overall I would buy this kit again.

Very impressive brightness, and illumination, pure bright white
Both kits delivered(with slim ballasts)were about $91 to my door, standard H1, and H3 kits.

I have purchased 3 sets over the years, all off eBay. the original ones I got were about $120, then the continued to go down. I think I paid somewhere in the area of $50 for my last set in 2009, that I have in our Sienna.
I have not had any problems with any of the ballasts or bulbs since I installed them.
Many have had good success as noted with the DDM units. I believe Vertex also carries HIDS kits.

My DDM kit is pretty new and I like it. Inexpensive an an easy install with a DIY on this forum.
Through reading this thread though seems like the light color may vary by brand a bit. The 5000 DDM's are very white with almost no hint of blue. Reads like the 5000's in other brands could be much more blue.

Dremel, clean up, etc? Is that just on the DDM? I have a Vertex kit on my cab which was pretty easy and didn't require any such drilling/filing/dremeling. I was just seeing if there was anything newer/better.

I have DDM HIDs, and didn't have to drill/dremel anything. The bulbs fit just fine.

Ok, so finally after almost 2 years one of my DDM HID ballast went kaput! Both bulbs are still good. Not bad considering I only spent $45. Now I'm thinking about stepping up to the Morimoto kit. I have this in my DD Toyota, and it is a very impressive kit. Fit and finish are excellent.

The T-Light kit has of course the correct connectors for hassle-free installation as well as the possibility of using the halogen bulb as quick-fix spare.
