are these hids that reliable for the price they offer them at. its a too good to be true price for some hids with slim fit ballast. has anyone had them and/or had problems with them
i have them right now, for the price they are and the function, they do the job nicely. I was very pleased with mine and it was easy to install. I don't really have any problems with them at all, except that sometimes when turning the lights on, only one side will go on. However its really easy to fix, just flip the switch on and off again and the 2nd light will fire. Not sure why this happens, but my friend's set does the same thing. I did a group buy with 2 other guys and they didn't charge us tax. so overall i am pleased with them, but someday I may want to upgrade to a better set.
I second that. Sometimes, when turning on the lights, both bulbs wont come on. like gizboo said, i just turn flip the swtich off then on again and they both warm up fine. I got 5000K and it is pure white. 35W.
I bought the regular 35w 6000k Apexcone hids, they shipped me the DDM slim ones that costed $15 more. :dance: I'm not complaining lol, they work awesome, easy to install. Both mine fire up right away, but I find that if you move the external ignitor/ballast they lights will turn off, so you gotta mount them well. (I just used double sided tape and it keeps falling off.) Just buy them man, they come with lifetime warranty so if anything goes wrong your safe. Oh, they were pretty backed up when I bought them (November 17) they shipped on December 4 and I received them on December 11. You might not receive them before Christmas.
blue will be like driving with bad halogen bulbs on though. And when it rains, it will be completely dark. Worst than bad having blue coated halogens.
Get what I'm saying?
Yeah 6000k is really white but if you look at it on certain angles its a little blue. Supposedly hid bulbs color shift after like 100 hours, so 6000k will be closer to 7000k? I had those blue halogen bulbs before, they sucked ass. I could barely see, and when it rained it was like I had no lights on.
I have 5K DDM and they are perfectly fine. Nothing bad so far!
