TITUS1985 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 ^^ I agree with From_The_Valley, get the big bulky AC ballasts they just work so much better. I've had the same 4 lights in my car for over 2 years and not one problem (6000k & 10000k Bi-Xenon). On the other hand my buddy has had about 6 or 7 different combinations because lights flicker or they just won't turn on. <-- this was all because of digital ballasts, it didn't matter if they were cheap ones or $100 they all just didn't quite work right. So I let him barrow my ballasts just to see and his lights worked fine. Just my 2 cents for ya
superdave07 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 I work for a company called SQ Motorsports. We have been selling HIDs since they first came out. We sell our own brand of product. We supply many manufactures with product that they sell. We sell on eBay and Amazon. All of our products carry a 1 year warranty that is direct from us. Check us out on eBay or message me for a quote. We are by far not the cheapest out there, but I think you'll find the quality being worth the extra money in the long run. Thanks!!

joh17 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 The ballasts on the cheap ones usually don't last very long
300824 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 DDM tuning is the best bang for buck I believe...
SnowDrifter Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 DDM is a pos. Had nothing but problems with my kit. Switched to the retrofit source and I've been happy since ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
Torres Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 i've used DDM before and have been happy with no issues, so with this next set i bought a set just for the ballasts and bought bulbs from the retrofit source
9tr3g Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Check out hid planet.com. all the hid info you could ever want. Ddm is a good cheap one. The retro fit source is suppose to be the best. They also sell the kits that have projectors that will fit in your factory housing. That's the best way to go but expensive.
