Couple of guys from DDM Tuning decided to expose the truth about HID:
In the vid they disassemble a couple of eBay 35W ballasts, a 35W Digital ProLumen, 55W Digital ProLumen, and a 35W Digital DDM ballast, and they are ALL THE SAME DAMN THING (other than the MOSFET difference in the 35W to 55W ballasts)
So basically, if you’re buying an HID kit from any vendor, any brand other than the big guys (Phillips, McCulloch, Bosch), chances are you’re paying a premium for the same thing you could get on eBay for half the price.
Everybody says ‘oh it’s in the customer service I have a lifetime warranty!’
Well I can get you a two sets of any color 35W (55W is noticeably brighter, but totally unnecessary) and still be cheaper than many ‘Lifetime Warranty’ kits that will last longer than the vendor you’d be buying the ‘superior warranty’ from.
ive been meaning to pick up some HIDs for the camaro because the lights on those things blow, i can barely see anything on the road, i just dont know how i feel about the blue color from them
I HATE the blue HIDs, I dont like drop in HID period however after driving home 6 hours in the rain on the way home from maryland a couple of months ago and not being able to see shit i got some. They are like OEM color, they just look like factory lights but much brighter. FNskanks can tell you, they make a huge difference.
I’d go with a set of 2600k, bulbs only, from gearhead here on shift, I’d put money on those being really really deep yellow. That’s what I’ll be buying for next season.
