Fog light Hids installed**Pics**

Finally got the 6000k fog lights I ordered from http://www.ddmtuning.com/hidkihidbuhi.html Tuesday, and I just finished installing them. Just wanted everyone to take a look.

I just finished the passenger side one, and took a pic for comparison

lol, yea they are 35watts. I started out on the floor with the jack, but then my bro pulled a car out the bay, so I finished the job off there. Perks of your brother being a mechanic I guess.

Low cost. Just have some butt connectors and zip ties handy. But the bulb is slightly to long for the housing, but just push the reflector in a tad. And the notes on the write up located on someones cardomain page that is floating around mentioned about cutting the wires that go to the bulb, so you wouldnt have to widen up the hole, and that worked out great. Then I just used silicon to fill the gap.

I just noticed the multi quote button. But which bulbs did you use in your head lamp park lights?

I think my last to light mods are going to be leds thru the interior, Halo's and clearing the head lamps.

But bottom line, im really happy with the purchase, and the light output is great. 35w worked out, 55w cant have that much more of a light output that makes it worth running the risk of melting something.

I have the 6000K D2Rs from DDMtuning, and they are good. I'll post a pic up later. However, I did notice that the ones from DDMtuning have the purplish tint, not the bluish tint to them. I was disappointed by this, as my Helios D2Rs and mH3 kit had the bluish tint or went up to 6500k which IMO looked better.

I ordered mine on Dec 8th and didn't get them until Jan 16th. They claimed Yahoo screwed up my order which took several phone calls to get sorted out (and 10 days), and then I had to wait for UPS to stop trying to deliver them so i could go pick 'em up.

Assuming you're talking about the "slim" DDMtuning ones, I would assume China, but they don't say on the top or bottom. They might be marked on the sides, but mine are already installed so I can't check.

DDMtuning offers 3000k H3 bulbs. That's what I put in my fogs in my 2002 this weekend.
