    Yes, I ordered the 32 w but didn't like them so I returned them. The customer service was so good I asked about the 4300 55w and they had them.

    Great price but one of the ballasts went bad.

    I can't recommend them. I am going to have to revise my first post, it seems the quality is not there. At least they have good customer service for returns.

    The problem is the crappy equipment being used. Ddmtuning is just fine and dirt cheap. Oh and not true about 6k not being as bright as stock halogens Lolz! not even close

    Seems pretty cheap, is this the right kit to get??



    Also, if I get 4300K is it possible to leave this running all the time (while driving) with out melting or causing damage to the housing or wires?

    that's a great price! it doesn't note if it's an AC or DC ballast though?

    It takes DC input, using the factory socket. I think it puts out AC to run the lights.

    Was referring to output. At the price point, it's seems like it'a DC output. If it's AC, that's a great price!

    I don't know what it is. I got zapped by one installing it on my vette and it woke me up, I'll tell you that!

    Should say on the ballast. NTL, these systems come a long way. I paid just under $100 for my Xenon Depot AC ballast system. Components look well made but the pins appears to be the weak link. It's worked flawlessly but so did my system 10 year ago!

    I bought the same kit with 35w bulbs. You put 55w bulbs in the 35w kit?

    I am glad you did all the leg work. I am going to buy them for my 2013 Prius III. But have not decided if I should get 4300 or 6000 bulbs. Comparing them, it looks like the 6000 is whiter than the 4300. Not much but some. But did not see the option for 35w or 55 w. Just 4300 or other colors.

    I would highly recommend 4300. They produce the best light to see with. There is a reason all the factory bulbs are 4300k. I have had different k lights and by far 4300 are the best.

    Guys, these kits are $25 on DDMtuning and they work perfect. 4300 is simulated daylight and 6000 is a slight blue tint.
