My Thoughts On DDM Tuning...PURE CRAP

Where did you buy the other 4300K bulbs?

It's just a random vendor on ebay, but I'm happy with them. The brightness of them compared to the DDM is ALOT better.

So just to make things clear, you're using DDM ballasts and these light bulbs right?

Yes sir, that's correct. If I had to do it all over again, I'd just bought whole H13 kit off ebay.

On a side note, the H13 bulbs from DDM look like the ones in that link. The bulbs they actually sent me where still H13 in size but the solenoid on the back was bigger and not as flush looking.

Also the way the new bulbs sit in stock housing, it projector a better pattern. The high beams also disperse more light than DDM did.

Thanks I'm about to place my order. But one last question before I do... Did you notice any difference in warm up time? Or is that not effected since it's the same ballasts?

I haven't noticed any difference in warm up times between the different bulbs.

Also just to state and I'm sure you've read or know this already, but best way to use the HIDs is with a retrofit like a vendor on here offers.... or 2013 set of headlights with all stock ballast/bulbs.

That being said, I have a slightly used set of black 2013 headlights due in today, I hope to figure a way to retrofit aftermarket ballast and bulbs in them by using the H13 controller and keep cost down below $400ish. If I can accomplish this, I'll have plenty of pictures on it and some sort of write up. If I can't, I can sell the headlights and make some money, win-win for me and a good project ot play with.
