they have a lifetime warrenty on there products
i have had mine for over 3yrs and not one problem at all, high beams work great, lights come on like a boss
imo every product has its flaws, i have only heard of a few ddm users and they have no problem at all with theres, my buddy has the 55w 8000k kit with high and low beams and loves the hell out of em
to be honest, most problems are due to user error, or intalls, with bad grounds ur ballasts wont get enough power to power up the ballasts to fire the bulbs, im not sayin your problems are with how u did it, but everyone makes mistakes and you dont know what happins under ur hood while ur driving
if your haveing problems, take the ground wires that u have to ground at the ballasts, crimp/solder then to a wire of same size or so, then run to your battery neg, if this dont work it could be ballast problems, or bulbs getting moisture, theres so many verables in how stuff works, ive had stuff work fine and then go all to shit to, no product is perfect
go threw the options to see what might be causing your problem then try ddm, they have a support forum where u can ask questions, look up different things and what knot
i hope u get ur problem resolved, ya ddm's bulbs are a little bit off in color but thats covered under warrenty, and can be the houseing affecting the output/color also
so if I ground it to the battery negative as opposed to a bolt on the vehicle, it may possibly fix it? I am pretty positive that the fuse on the relay is what kept blowing. in fact I am almost positive.
BUMP pleeeease

somebodys gotta know something!

What've you got against DDM? I've had my three kits for over a year without a problem. Still going strong.
My problem is that I can't say the same. Their shit has discolored or malfunctioned so many times on me.
-
Has anybody had any experience with these? Any feedback from yourself or friend? I am looking for an affordable HID kit (under 100). Shoot any good kits my way (not DDM).
Thanks,
Sam

are those balasts rated for 55 w?? considering you started with 35w something to check. also do you have it tied into your headlight switch or a new switch system???
are each ballast fused??
what size fuse do you currently have?
the ones that kept fuckin me were 55W. I had 35W at first but I switched out the entire system for the 55w. they were tied into the original headlight switch. I bought the DDM Tuning wiring harness (which is fused) along with the 55w kit so this wouldn't happen :| and which fuse are you asking about; the wiring harness fuse or the headlight fuse in my fusebox? I am going back to 35W so this stops but I apparently have a lot to learn in terms of malfunction prevention.
-
Do you know if they replaced the ballasts when the fuses popped last time? That just sounds like a bad ballast to me. I've got about two years experience with HIDs so I've run into the basic failures
the ballasts were never switched. and if it were a bad ballasts, wouldn't just one light not work?
-
So I switched from 35w to 55w HIDs from DDM Tuning a while back after a ballast went bad. I bought the wiring harness as well in order to avoid problems with my stock headlight wiring. However, on 2 occasions, the headlights blew a fuse and I would have to get a repair done. I am pretty sure it was the fuse on the wiring harness. Does anybody know what could have caused this?

I need 2 more versions of the above picture;
1.) Replace the BLUE with RED and the GREEN with BLACK
-AND-
2.) Replace the BLUE with WHITE and the GREEN with BLACK
whoever does it, thank you so much for your help. the folks on this site that help members with photoshopping have been of tremendous help to myself as well as many other members and I have very thankful for the work that you have done for me.
Here you go:

Need proof of his feelings towards Israel?
in the very beginning of the video, he stated that he was talking about the REGIME of Israel. And Ahmadinejad could come out right now and say "I am going to nuke Israel" and give an exact time and date for it- it doesn't matter. His decisions are essentially meaningless without the backing of the Supreme Leader. Now don't get me wrong, Khamenei has said some extremely negative things about Israel as well, but his statements are far from those made by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
-
Ahmadinejad is an Anti-Zionist, not an anti-Semite. He has openly called for the removal of the Zionist Regime, not the Israeli population. The second largest Jewish population in the middle east is actually in Iran. What should also be noted is that Ahmadinejad has no real power- that all lies within the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. An Ayatollah is a religious figure in Islam that can be compared to a Cardinal in Roman Catholicism. He has been in power since 1989 and is also an anti-Zionist leader. While a strike on Israel is highly unlikely, an Iran with nuclear weapons will behave very recklessly and will step up its support for groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah who WILL attack Israel (with non-nuclear weapons). Nothing short of a regime change in Iran will stop them from acquiring nuclear weapons- that is how it has been since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 when the U.S. backed Shah was overthrown from Iran which was then turned into an Islamic theocracy with hatred towards western nations. Unfortunately, a regime change in Iran is nearly impossible to accomplish. Unlike Iraq, Iran has ways of waging war in the air and sea as well as the ground. Iranian insurgency would make Iraqi insurgency look like a joke due to the massive population difference between the two nations. A bombing of nuclear facilities in Iran would not be able to work like the 2007 Israeli bombing of a Syrian nuclear facility and the 1981 Israeli bombing of the Iraqi Osirak nuclear facility due to the vast number of facilities spread across Iran- many of them being in underground bunkers if not completely secret to the outside world. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard knows that we are in no position to stop them from developing these weapons and they will take full advantage of it. What this WILL cause is a Saudi Arabian nuclear program, an Egyptian nuclear program, a Turkish nuclear program, as well as many other nations who feel threatened by Iran. Israel, however, has a history of escalating things like this and has a great opportunity to turn this from a cold war into a regional war in the event that they decide to bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities.

I read this when I woke up, and later saw Steve post in on Facebook so I decided to share it on the forum. Discuss!
http://news.yahoo.com/ap-exclusive-iran-prez-said-pushing-nukes-120313424.html
VIENNA (AP) — Iran's president wants to shed the nation's secrecy and forge ahead openly with developing nuclear weapons but is opposed by the clerical leadership, which is worried about international reaction to such a move, says an intelligence assessment shared with The Associated Press.
That view, from a nation with traditionally reliable intelligence from the region, cannot be confirmed and contrasts with assessments by other countries that view Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as relatively moderate on the nuclear issue compared to the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Attempts to interpret Iran's goals are important because as it expands uranium enrichment, it is moving closer to being able to make a nuclear weapon by the day, even as it asserts that it is not interested in such arms and its programs are geared only to making reactor fuel.
A U.S. official cited one assessment he has seen suggesting Ahmadinejad may be more "moderate" — more open to talks with the international community on resolving nuclear concerns than Khamenei. He asked for anonymity because his information was privileged.
But a blunt comment by Ahmadinejad last month raises questions. While repeating that Iran does not want nuclear arms, he openly reinforced its ability to make them, telling Iranian state TV that "if we want to make a bomb, we are not afraid of anybody."
That defiant statement fits the scenario laid down by the intelligence assessment shared with the AP, depicting Ahmadinejad as wanting to move publicly to develop a nuclear program.
Ahmadinejad is pushing "to shake free of the restraints Iran has imposed upon itself, and openly push forward to create a nuclear bomb," says the assessment. But Khamenei, whose word is final on nuclear and other issues, "wants to progress using secret channels, due to concern about a severe response from the West," says the report.
Officials at the Iranian president's office were not available for comment Friday.
The varying views reflect the difficulties that intelligence agencies face when probing a secretive nation that plays its cards close to its chest. Lines of division are murky. Alliances shift and positions change, leaving governments and private analysts frustrated as they try to nail down Tehran's nuclear end game.
They converge, however in noting that recent political divisions between Ahmadinejad and Khamenei have spilled over to encompass Iran's nuclear activities to a greater degree than before.
While much about Iran's nuclear program is opaque, the growing capacity — if not the intention — to make weapons is on the record, captured in International Atomic Energy Agency reports documenting the expansion of Iran's enrichment program from its clandestine beginnings more than a decade ago to one that has produced enough material for more than two nuclear bombs.
More recently Iran has begun enriching to higher levels that would lessen the time needed to make weapons-grade material. And its stonewalling of an IAEA probe based on U.S. and other intelligence of secret work on components of a nuclear weapons program is adding to concerns raised by Tehran's refusal to freeze enrichment despite U.N. sanctions.
"They claim that all of their activities are for peaceful purposes," IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano told the AP Friday. "But we have information that might have military implications and there are other activities that we don't know well, so it is difficult for us to draw a conclusion it is exclusively for peaceful purposes."
Intelligence reports of tensions between Ahmadinejad and the ruling clerics are in line with other signs showing Ahmadinejad at odds with Khamenei with less than two-years to go into his presidency.
In recent months, Ahmadinejad apparently fired — and was forced by Khamenei to reinstate — his interior minister in what some analysts see as a rebuffed attempt by the president to eliminate rivals to candidates he would like to see in positions of power, once his second and last term ends in 2013. That prompted an outburst of public criticism and led rivals in parliament to start proceedings that could in the most extreme case lead to impeachment.
Reports of disagreement on nuclear issues predate that dispute, but some officials from member nations of the Vienna-based IAEA see tensions over the future of the nuclear program sharpening.
Proliferation expert David Albright of the Institute for Science and International Security says his briefings from European government officials who have seen the latest U.S. intelligence assessment on the Islamic Republic seem to support the assessment shared with the AP that Khamenei is worried about how the world would react to a nuclear-armed Iran.
"There is a lot of caution in the regime about the implication of building nuclear weapons," says Albright. Asked whether Ahmadinejad or Khamenei have been the most circumspect, he says "the implication is that it was the Supreme Leader."
The leadership is "worried about starting a nuclear weapons race and worried about the international impact," said Albright, naming reactions from regional powers Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey as that of greatest concern to Tehran. Both Egypt and the Saudis have indicated that they would contemplate acquiring nuclear weapons if Iran had them.
One theory voiced by government officials and private analysts is that Iran might be looking to reach the level just short of making nuclear weapons — but able to do so quickly if it feels threatened. That would fit in with Khamenei's reported cautious stance.
In any case, Ahmadinejad seems to be further weakened by the dispute. That leaves the Revolutionary Guard — the military-industrial powerhouse that is increasingly asserting itself in most aspects of Iran's society — as a beneficiary says the intelligence assessment.
"Khamenei has decided to transfer engagement with the most sensitive parts of the nuclear program, including activity that can be used for nuclear weapons, from ... the group of scientists at the Defense Ministry, who are identified with Ahmadinejad, to a special body in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp.," it says. "This, due to the increasing lack of trust the Leader has in people in sensitive positions, who are identified with the President."
The summary interprets the apparent decision to give the guard greater say over nuclear issues as a boost to its quest "to establish its status as a leading power force in the regime."

welp, this is somebodys avatar but I feel the need to post it for the occasion;

im sick and tired of the fucking federal/government getting in all our fucking buisness fuck Vote Ron paul 2012 for change
adding a sales tax isn't really "getting in all our fucking business". If you are unhappy with the tax, you should write him in for governor of California- not the president.

why the fuck do we have stupid fucking post like this
The internet is like the nuclear bomb- great idea at first until all the wrong people get ahold of it.

My problem isn't with having to pay taxes, it's how my tax money is used that bothers me. Higher taxes could help ease the debt plenty if the people managing it knew wtf they were doing.

It is a joke, not an authorized biography. But I wouldn't expect a lib to have any sense of humor. I'm gonna post a video about your messiah here in a minute....let's see if you can pick through it and try and defend him against his own words.
Who is my messiah? I am sorry for defending the president of the United States who is constantly being compared to Hitler and the Anti-Christ. The man who people say isn't an American. If that is your idea of a sense of humor, than you are the one with the problem, not me. Also, please note that I am not an Obama lover- just somebody with common sense as well as an individual who has been hearing these same jokes over and over since 2008.
*EDIT*
And I watched the video you posted as well. Perhaps the idiocy of the past president slipped your mind, whose mistakes were not only related to his charisma charisma, but also into a misled war which killed thousands of our soldiers. (and yes I will generalize you as a Dubya Lover since you stated that Obama is my "messiah"). My point is this: every president will make countless mistakes on camera REGARDLESS of his political affiliation (i.e. Democrat, Republican)- it's expected. when you are the most powerful man in the world, you are under a great deal of pressure (as hard as that may be to believe). I honestly could not tell the point of that video at all, but it it is meant to portray Obama as being plain stupid, I suggest you look into his educational history. he graduated from Harvard at the top of his class with a degree in Constitutional Law, which he later taught at the University of Chicago.

I was born in one country, raised in another.
not Obama
No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth
certificate.
one was released
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to
Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country, but I
practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn't follow Christianity, except in
the public eye under scrutiny.
doesn't sound like Obama to me
At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy...
Hitler's campaign first focused on the hyperinflation throughout Germany
I was very critical of my country in the last war, and seized every
opportunity to bash my country.
bash the country itself, or the way it was handled?
I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could
do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free.
Obama never had that plan- Franklin Roosevelt did, however.

That's kind of a random thing to take from a specific car. Hahah, someone must have needed one of those. But yeh, shit happens.
some kid i used to be friends with gave a ford explorers passenger mirror an uppercut because my friend needed one. then to be even more of a dick he wrote "thanks for the mirror" on their window with a sharpie.
as bad as that is, at least he wrote it on the window as opposed to the paint. sharpie will come off of a window with some TLC.
lmao i was about to say you must be from michigan. then i saw your location. that shit happens alot there. but not as much as people hittin the housing and leavin that bitch dangling lol
yup it's fucked up sometimes. what can you do though. there is ass holes everywhere.
