^ me thinks profit margins were too slim. I dont recall shipping cost but its double shipping. a whole crate from china or w/e and then to us. They dont sell a GREAT product by any means but a good one with good customer service is always WIN.

I guess i'll get one and have it sit here for a while like everything else.

So if i was going to replace my low beam with a 3k or 6k bulb from ddm should i buy the H4 bulb or D2r Bulb? I have an 04. Would i need some type of kit to do this?

^Then I believe you need the D2R.
Not 100% sure because I don't have OEM HID.
I'd wait for someone who does to chime in before ordering anything.

a slight tint of blue will differ from bulb to bulb and each person's eye. I can see "pure white" VS you can see a slight "hint of blue"

if you have a 04 or higher sedan you have xenon lights. D2R or D2S...D2S is suppose to be a universal type that works in both Reflector and Projector housings.

get the R if you can

D2R's are for reflector based lights and D2S are not universal but for projector based headlights.

all you guys with the slim DDM HID kits in your fogs, can you measure your ballast so i can know what size it needs to be to fit into our housings.

we have a vendor that sell slims ballast kits for $50, size is 2.5in-Width x 3in-Height x .75in-Depth.

thanks a lot!

this will be a make or break for me, not sense in getting it, if i have to mount it somewhere in the engine bay like i do with all other kits. I rather have a clean install that sits inside the housing.
