Good HID company

Hello,

I need to replace my Fog HID's. I just had the V-Leds set up, but they burnt out in less than 1 1/2 months, and now they dont sell the H11 size for HID's anymore. Anyone else know of a good website where I can get quality HID's?

Thanks,
Dan

If its just bulbs you need, I would still recommend DDM Tuning. If its Ballasts, ddm = not so much

I've never had any problems with DDM but I've seen their stuff be hit or miss in the past.

I suggest this:

Ive purchased at least a dozen HID Setups from DDM. Recently they have started shipping their ballasts from china, and the quality has gone down drastically.

Their kits aren't the same? I figured they were getting them from China before but not shipping directly from there

Just by looking at them you can tell they are cheaper. The old ballasts had some mass to them and had a sticker with the ballast info on them. The new ones are amost weightless and are just polished on both sides. No sticker.

I bought 3 sets of HIDs in the past few months. They all came from china and with the new (lighter) ballasts. I had to warranty a ballast from each set.

Are you using the slims or cheaper ones? That's interesting.
