    Also, Dub did ALL of it without taking the front bumper off... I think some guys did remove it. Not sure if it makes it easier or not. I think Dub did it all within 2-3 hrs.

    Coulda done it a LOT quicker without having to weigh the felony "hard time" / possible incarceration, in my tiny little caveman brane...(LG factor)
    LOL

    And yes, remove the air box...makes everything MUCH EZ-R

    Dub I think it's fine there! I can find it, I know what it is, hey it's perfect there! It just wouldn't be tidy enough for some, I believe.

    wow, this thread started yesterday and you guys are already harassing me because i havent responded?


    The ones i purchased from DDM tuning are 55w ballasts, with hi/lo beams, and ultra small/slim ballasts (probably 2"x2.5")

    i've been extremely happy with their products as well as service. I had one of my bulbs pop because i touched it with my finger... called them, and they sent me a new one for $16 plus shipping.

    Their bulbs were very accurate and bright on my VX, great cut off line with minimal glare.

    i personally took my whole front end apart to install mine because i wanted it to all look factory when you looked under the hood. So i hid a lot of the kit behind the bumper like eric (etlsport) said.

    I can explain the difference in cost to you, because my cousin actually lives 4or 5 blocks from ddm tuning. He runs an LS6 sand buggy with probably 10-12 headlights on it, all HID from DDM.
    DDM tuning has a HUGE warehouse FULL of kits. My cousin tells me that their warehouse is the size of a home depot, full of HID kits. Basically, they are the wal mart of HIDs, so they can afford to sell them for less and repair/service them for little to nothing.

    i would recommend them to all my VX friends and fam.
