I'm using 55w 5000k d2s on my s2000 retrofit and 35w 5000k h11 for my fogs from retro solutions. there was reviews from airportguy but i was reading most of the review from the club rsx forums. seems like xenon depot owns this domain. which from reading the other threads, seems to be doing pretty bad.

Most people on here will tell you otherwise.
3 kits so far, one for my friend and 2 for me all working fine.
Getting them shipped, well that was a different story, lol.

Of course he should be nice when he's charging you 160 per kit.
Imagine you buy **** for 30 bucks and you sold them for 200. Wouldn't you be nice and provide feedback?
Last I heard, DDMTunning also provide prompt response with regards to ANY HID-related questions. Shipping is just what has them backed up on orders.

No, that's not true at all as the install is simple. But you will always find dumbasses(yes, it is true. Apologies if i offend anyone here) who don't know how to plug wire A to wire B.

Wires are always right.
You just have to know which one is positive and which one is negative.
Some people just plug it in and even though it can only go in one way, some people manage to get it wrong.
So, red = positive, black = negative.
Match wires and you'll be good to go.
There should be at least one wire that is black. THAT wire will be negative. So, by using common sense, the other one should be positive.

well, ddm tunning does offer lifetime warranty.
You can try ebay. Most with a pretty website will have overpriced ebay stuff. A few will have a selection of products they've tested themselves. I'd go with something that has lifetime warranty though. I bought a kit with a 3yr warranty and after a year it went out. I contacted the seller who has been having great reviews from this website and he won't reply back to me. Oh well
