HID Kit Retailer Poll

I prefer The Retrofit Source because of their customer service record and quality of the product. Sure they are more expensive but I;d rather keep guys like them in business. It's kinda like supporting your local farmers by purchasing vegetables at a farmers market which is more expensive than the grocery store. Sometimes anyway.

That being said I think the DDM ballasts are ok but I wouldn't use their bulbs. I prefer to use the Morimoto bulbs if I am stuck with using a non-OEM brand.

I'd go with the 5000K. The 6000K has too much blue in it and you'll look like the other HID noobs running around with HIDs in their halogen housings. lol

 

DDM tuning here. Everything checks out fine after a year of using their product. It's so cheap you may as well give it a shot and if you're satisfied, fine. If not, you're not out hardly anything. Also, 35W 5000K will be the best as F8L said.

 

I would look into Xenon Depot's Xtreme Digital HID kit. Not sure how many people in this forum have tried them out, but you can find pages and pages of satisfied buyers in the Club Lexus forum. They're not the cheapest but if you put in the coupon code "pc" it'll knock $25 off. The dual relay setup is what sold me.

 

Got mine from TRS. Morimotos.

 

Got Xenon Depot Xtreme Digital kit, because I don't feel like dealing with cheap bulbs that keeps on going out every few months like my friend is with his car. Satisfied with the kit's build quality and performance so far. Took me a minute to install because of dual relay setup.

 

Good to hear someone else gave their kit a try. I'm very impressed with the kit and the 5000k color temperature. No hint of blue...just pure white light.

 

Who offers best price on Xenon Depot Xtreme Digital kit?

Aside from DDM tuning kit, what other "QUALITY" kits are available for under $100?

 

^Xentec - can be found all over eBay.

 

Forgive a newb, but I have no idea where to start on getting an HID kit. My 2011 III is being delivered in 2 weeks and this along with fog lights is one of the mods I'd like to start with.

 

Be careful with HIDs in the foglights. They usually end up too bright and blind oncoming traffic. It's unsafe for you and them.

I would check your beam pattern as it is. If it is lighting up street signs then I would not put HIDs in them.

 

Well, I guess I should clarify, I want to add fog lights. I also want to upgrade to HID headlights...(not HID fog lights as well). I just don't understand what all is included in upgrading to HID. Essentially I guess I'm looking for a step by step guide and parts list.

 

DDM 5000k here....couldn't be happier. Have had them on my last 2 cars and motorcycle as well

 

Just picked up ddm raptor 5000k, only $35 worth a try.. Will install tomorrow..

 

Just ordered Volt 4300k H11 kit for $95 shipped with $25 discount from kbcarstuff...

Does anyone have Volt HID kit? I couldn't afford for $199 Xtreme-digital kit, so I ordered Volt kit instead.

Can one or more of your please take before and after pictures against a wall from 25ft away?

 

How difficult is the installation? Is this a DIY project? I've never done any alterations to a car before. Are there retailers or Toyota dealers that install these locally?
