    Nice :)

    Better than my DDM 55w 6000k kit.

    I'm going to save up for an FX-R bi-xenon retrofit upgrade with the Osram 66240 D2S bulbs from TRS. Mucho bright and very wide!

    Wow! I would be afraid to use them, for fear of blinding an oncoming driver if I missed a cue that they coming.

    hope it doesnt fry. lol I did not use the relay. It just works. I used it for about 1 hr driving... no issue.. both lights worked well.

    DDM Tuning HID kit has been good for my friend on w 2010 Tundra. He did use relay but he has no issues. If i start to get flickering, I am going just take it out and get Xenon Depot version for a little more money. Worth a try. Ive used XenonDepot on 4runner for 5 years. No issue.

    I have the 35w and 55w DDM kits. :)

    I hate the 6000k bulbs so I just put the stock Osram bulbs back in. literally a few minutes ago. lol

    Your ballasts are fine. It's the bulbs that are not so great. I'd look into getting a set of Phillips 85122 or the Osrams. OEM bulbs put out much more light according to the tests on HIDPlanet.com. The new Osram and the Phillips 85122 will color shift to almost 5000k after 100 hrs so they say. They 85122+ will not color shift.

    MyStock Osrams color shifted so much that they were more blue than the DDM 5000k bulbs I tried to replace them with.

    thanks for the heads up. If these bulbs become questionable after several hrs of usage, Ill just pull them out. Pass side to put the bulb was PITA....
    So i can use the DDM ballast.. and use Osram bulb? compatible pnp?

    Totally. You will have to get a new plug to fit the D2S bulb but those are cheap. If you call Matt or Nate at TRS they will help you. They were super cool and helped me work out my options.

    I highly suggest checking out HIDPlanet.com too. Tons of good info there and lots of test data. I'd link you to some of it but I'm posting from my cell phone and won't have access to a computer till Monday.

    Oops wait! Which bulb style are you using now? I forgot you may not be using a D2S style bulb.

    My experience was horrible with DDM very rude, miserable people who can't get it right. Guy even said **** you to me over the phone. Absolute GARBAGE product and customer service. They will not refund and your stuck with GARBAGE.

    MISMATCH BALLAST, ORDERS DON'T COME FROM CALIFORNIA THEY COME FROM CHINA.

    CAN'T RETURN INSTALLED ITEMS, HOW ARE WE GOING TO KNOW IF THE ITEM WORKS WITHOUT INSTALLING. BENCH TEST IT?

    If you have Facebook, contact them on there. I think you'll get somewhere. People normally get their issues resolved online from what I can tell. DDM Tuning | Facebook
