chrisiseffincool Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'm getting an HID kit off of ddmtuning very soon, and I'm a little lost when it comes to this. What EXACTLY will I need in order to put HID's on my 02 VW GTI? I've already decided on 55W 5000k HID's from ddmtuning. My question is should I get the DDM HID Kit Slim Ballast or the Apexcone Raptor HID Kit and also accessories what would I need to buy (harness, ballast, etc.) Quote Current Setup: VW GTI 1.8T '02 1 15" Fi BTL Sundown SAZ-1500D Box-4.3 cubes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is should I get the DDM HID Kit Slim Ballast or the Apexcone Raptor HID Kit and also accessories what would I need to buy (harness, ballast, etc.) if you buy the kit, it comes with 2 bulbs and 2 ballast. since your running the 55w bulbs i think you should get the wiring harness. and the only difference in the two ballast is the size and price. slim is smaller, but more expensive. normal is bigger but cheaper. both work the same.

Torres Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 also the slim ballasts are the digital ones, and the bigger are analogue. if i remember correctly, the digital turn on a little faster and are much more less prone to radio interference, although the chance of radio interference with analogue ballasts is still very rare.

Lol, it's a little late now. I got the Apexcone 55w 4500k kit. Hope it works out for me (: Next step is aftermarket headlights that look sick, then window tinting, then rims for x-mas :D Quote Current Setup: VW GTI 1.8T '02 1 15" Fi BTL Sundown SAZ-1500D Box-4.3 cubes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Get the DDM not the Apexcone.
