New HID kit

BiRDMAN
Update: DDMtuning now only sells their Apexcone V2 HID kit. For the MM, CV or GM you do not need an HID Harness, Error code eliminator or Adapter cables. If order the 9007 hi/low beam kit it will automatically come with an HID accessory harness. Base kit starts at $30, add $20 for the hi/low function. Cost a little more than a pair of Silverstars or Silverstar Ultras, will out last the halogen bulb and includes a lifetime warranty.



So back in the fall one of my low beams went out on my old McCulloch bi-xenon hid kit. Didn't have the time to wait for another kit to be shipped since I had already gone past the 1 yr warranty date. Bought a pair of silverstars and went on my way. Another forum I am on which has a vast range of vehicles on it, I saw a lot of the Euro owners buying HID kits from a place called www.ddmtuning.com. Checked their site out a while back and then last week I finally decided to buy another kit cause I have a hard time seeing the road at night, my lights were just not bright enough for me.

DDMtuning has kits for dirt cheap and offer LIFETIME WARRANTY. Ordered the kit last Monday and came in on Friday. After work I went home got my kit and headed to my shop to install it.

I was highly impressed with the quality of the product. The kits come in 35w and 55 watt output.

Remove cover and trim ring, place factory lock ring on then put trim ring back on.

HID Accesory kit (which I thought I might need but wasted $25 on it...oh well. Helps to ensure 100% total power to the ballast and igniters since some oem systems can't handle the load, especially with a 55w kit)

Passenger side, now the difference with this kit and others that I have seen, this only uses ONE factory headlamp connection for both lights as a remote turn on for the kit.

The only issues so far was having to remove the battery to properly place the passenger side ballast which was no big deal and I think they have the high/low connection wrong because on a normal bi-xenon kit when high beam is turned on a actuator will tilt the bulb as to shift the light horizon beam up. Mine isn't doing that and actually seems to point downward. I'm going to call their tech support tomorrow and discuss it with them.

In the meantime if anyone has a headlight wiring diagram to show which wire is hot, low and high beam that would be a big help and I can just take care of it myself.

Standard single beam 9007 kit will be $70.00 plus shipping, add $25.00 for the high/low conversion but still for under $100 and lifetime warranty you can't beat it. Can't wait to replace the fog lamps next.

I love HIDs at night because the vision horizon is much wider than standard halogen lights. I can easily spot more animals on the side of the road, read street signs further away and just see more. The more you see at night the safer you can feel.
 
I have been thinking about this mod for a while now. Not sure what kit to go with... this looks like a nice kit. I NEED low beams and high beams... tough to come by with HIDs.

Bi-Xenon means high/low but you want the 9007 kit. If I can get my high/low issue figured out pretty quickly without hassle I will recommend this kit highly. I really think the high/low plug prongs are just backwards and then while on low beam adjust the headlight up some and it will be good to go. But honestly if you did low beam and fog lights with proper aiming you really won't need high beams unless you do long dark stretches of roads like I do.
 
the only issue i have with the cheap kits is that if you try to claim your "warranty" good luck with that. i had very bad experiances with that, i sent the payment to him to even ship the lights back and never heard from him again. tried reporting the seller to ebay and paypal told me to shove it. everything about the seller seemed legit but if you have an issue, he is nowhere to be found. btw the seller is still selling on ebay.

This isn't an ebay company and the people I know with these kits already are going on 3-4 years with them. Their return policy is pretty simple, they have you trouble shoot as much as you can first and if there is still a problem you get a RMA (Return Merch. Auth), ship it back to them, they ship you new stuff, that simple.

Keep us informed - most interesting

CR:

Keep us informed on your progress - most interesting. A very reasonable kit for the price.

Feel like getting this, keep us posted on the hi/low beam concern you have. Oh and where is that Aux post for the positive?

Oh I will, I did my own troubleshooting and didn't get anywhere with it so I emailed their tech support. The Aux 12v post is on the engine bay fuse box on the side behind the positive battery terminal under a little cover, just have to pop it off and you'll see it, there is a hot wire running from the positive terminal to it. If you're not worried about having high beams as some other members aren't then it's a great kit for $70 plus shipping with the lifetime warranty you can't beat it.
 
All it took was 2-3 emails and problem is fixed. The high beam and low beam were activating backwards. Went to the plug in front of the radiator, pulled the rubber grommet out, pulled the red locking tab out of the connector, pulled the BLUE/WHITE (low beam) and GREEN/BLACK (high beam) pins out and swapped them, put everything back together and good to go now. The system only uses one side OEM connection to run both lights and used the passenger side because the battery is right there. Just have to remember to change those two pins back if myself or anyone else uses halogen bulbs.

Hello Chris,

What we think you can do is switch the pins for a high/low wiring. The bulbs are activating backwards, meaning the high beam is suppose to position and move "back" instead of a foward motion.

Looking at the base so it's like a pyramid of the pinholes, place your GROUND pin into the middle, the HIGH BEAM on the left side, and the LOW BEAM on the right side.

Tell us if this works or not. Thank you
