    Hey guys, I just did the ddm hid kit on my headlights and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Because I was so happy with the results I am considering doing the same thing to my fog lights. My question is first, is it harder to do the fog light conversion? and second, should I match the...

    Just wanted to hear what color you guys think I should go with. Right now I just don't feel safe with how bad the lights are on my car. I was thinking in the range of 4500k to 6000k. Do I need a relay harness? And would vhb tape work to mount the ballasts. Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App

    So ive previously posted threads about my DDM 55W 6000K HID kit. I have removed the 173 relay now, but after reading up on some threads debating over deciding on 55W and 35W im wondering if the 55W will cause any damage to my projectors or wiring. Will this really be an issue ? And under what...

    So i purchased the 55W 6000k HID kit from DDM tuning last december, and they worked fine up until recently, when my driver side bulb began projecting a yellowish tint much different from the passenger side bulb which stayed the bluish white tint it was supposed to be. What causes this to happen...

    Do I need to use the H7 spacers? The DDM instructions say that some cars don't need them, so I was wondering if ours do or do not.

    Just installed DDM HIDs in depo projector housings, and the results are very disappointing.. For some reason the light output is not good at all, and very blue/purple looking. I got the 4500k kit because I want a lot of light, not a blue light look. They seem to fire up fine, bright for a...

    Question for everyone. I just installed a DDM 4500k kit and the light out put seems more along the lines of what they advertise the 6000k bulbs. Is there any way to tell what bulbs I have? I double checked my order and it was for the 4500k kit. I drove the car around last night, and the...

    I'm planning on purchasing the Raptor Full Sized HID Kit but would like to know if I need to purchase the HID harness with this. This will be installed on a B5.5. Any insights are greatly appreciated.

    So last Friday I ordered an HID kit from DDM Tuning. I see they left somewhere in Suzhou China on Monday but they're still in China. And then I made the mistake of finding a DDM Tuning page on Facebook, which has nothing but a bunch of unsatisfied customers. Should I be worried that I just...

    Hi, I updated my central electrics module code since I installed the DDM hid kit but wasn't sure it was correct. I tried to set DRL(daytime running lights) intensity to 100% and to enable Xenon-shutter installed (Bi-xenon). Based on many guides on the forums (vwvortex, passatworld), I needed...

    I installed my new DDM 5000K HIDs in the Passat tonight. Which German whiz kid had the bright idea to use H7 bulbs in a blind hole? Good Lord what a PITA!!! :crazy: Gonna do the "xenon no shutter" dance with the VAGCOM tomorrow as I left the laptop and cable at work. Next: HID fogs...

    i am a total noob to the DIY world of cars, but am looking to take on my first project --> brighter lights! :wrench: for my '06 candy white passat, everything is 100% stock (except i got some new continental dws' the other day, riding dirty on some 16's baby) :driving: i surfed through the...

    So, a few weeks ago I installed a 35W/5K DDM HID kit in my wagon. I was going to do a write up on it but I haven't actually got the install "finished" yet. Here's where I am: HID kit installed, nothing else = lights intermittently do not fire when turned on, turning switch off and back on...

    Hey guys i have a 06 black b6 and had recently been informed of a website called ddmtuning.com Which apparently carries and hid kit that is "compatible with any car." Earlier this morning i saw the light on my dash notifying me of a bulb failure and thought it would be a good time to replace...

    I received my 35W/5k HID set from DDM today and immediately went to work on the install (pics and thoughts later). Since I did the install during the day, I had to wait until tonight to really test them out (just made sure they came on earlier). The problem I seem to have is that the...

    1999 B5 here with a DDM Tuning 55W HID Kit. I was originally having problems so I bought a relay kit (40A relay with 20A fuse) from them as well, and all seemed ok. Recently, however, the relays have been dying. Headlights would work fine, then slowly become more intermittent in firing (but...
