If you want to be able to actually see at night dont go higher that 6000K best idea for lighting is between 4300k4500K(stock), to 6000K

It's the quality. For anyone who owns one of those, you can just tell they're not Chinese crap. High quality stuff there, close to OEM.

yea they do look very well made, but it all comes down the fact if they work they work. I had a set of DDM 55w 12k in my headlights that i had retro fitted with a rsx projector, and 35w 6k slims in my fogs for 2 years and never burnt out or had any probs. i have had other kits in the past that flickered off when you started the car tho. but i still paid a fraction of the price

Yeah, I've got DDM's on the car now because I didn't know about their stuff. They do work but take a long time to fully warm up and it annoys me. They're also kind of loud. Once they go, I'm upgrading to the Morimoto stuff.

I'd rather pay extra for higher quality stuff. Tired of cheap crap.

I've been reading about headlights going out all week, and my ddm's just went out. The ballast just died on me. I'm glad it happened today and not tomorrow cause im driving out of town tomorrow. Ended up throwing the oem halogen bulbs back in and will keep them in until i buy my fogs and a morimoto kit for my low beams.
