i thought this may help those who are picking between 5k and 6k. Here is a side by side of the 35watt kits. I decided to go with the 6k. Let me know what you choose.
ddm 6k on left (passenger) ddm 5k on right (driver)
I have a question, when looking at the DDM kit, it is listed having two ballast, two bulbs and the harness, but there is 2 drl and two high beams, do I need two kits?
The 6K looks perfect, not too blue. Has anyone done the fogs as HIDs as well to match? I thought I saw DDM makes the fog bulbs as well, assuming you've got the newer Projector fogs (not the reflectore fogs).
How is the start-up brightness in these? I recently rode in a friends 300ZX that he'd converted to HIDs, and it took about 5 minutes for them to get to full brightness.
to elaborate on my earlier response... I've noticed that during the winter, it takes a bit longer than it does now - maybe 40-50 seconds in the dead of winter, 20-30 currently during the summer. they start off very blue and fade to white as they warm up.
Thanks for all the replies on start-up time. Sounds like they've gotten a lot faster to get to full brightness. 30-60 Seconds I can handle, makes me more likely to get these in the future.
SDbirdman, they look great, and thanks for the side by side!!!! Question if you don't mind though, on DDMs site when ordering there is something that says HiD harness (Dual in, Dual out $15) do you need this?
Thanks! You dont need the harness. Just the bulbs and slim ballasts.
good luck!
