Need Help Sourcing HID Kit

[VX KAT]

So while we're waiting on Jack, how difficult are these kits to install? I'm naively wishing that it's a matter of just plugging a ballast in-line and replacing the standard bulb, but somehow I have the feeling more significant electrical work is required.

Remember Dub put one of my ballasts on top of the fuse box. It ain't pretty, but it's secure.

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.

I did my kit in about 2 hours, maybe 2.5. I removed the front bumper completely and removed the headlights as well. mounted the balasts under each headlight, so they are completely hidden. I used double sided tape and zip ties to hold them in place, after about 2 years its still secure.

onto the bottom of the light assy, ...sweet. I fought with mine and installed them on the front of the radiator bulkhead.

What can I say, I'm a K I S S kinda guy...

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.

heres a comparison picture for you.... this is the DDM hid kit next to Hella 55w halogen driving lights-
