    Hey guys I'm planning on ordering the HID kit from DDM tuning soon but I just wanted to make it clear that our headlights is h4 hi/low right and as for the fog lights I been seeing mixed answers so I'm a bit lost is the bulb size for the 2013 tacoma h10 or h11?

    Has anyone installed the hid kit from DDM before? Is it all plug and play and would I need to get a relay harness for the fogs or does the kit come with it? I'm just trying to make sure everything is good before ordering it thank you!

    If you are putting HID's in the stock housing you will blind oncoming drivers. There are many threads on this very thing. Don't do it!

    If you are set on HID's then do it correctly and Retro your lights.

    I have DDM tuning lights in mine.

    You need the high/low kit for the headlights and a separate H11 kit for the fogs. They are plug and play for the most part, but you do have to mount ballasts and run wires...

    I recommend outdoor double sided mounting tape to mount the ballasts without drilling holes.

    Nor do I plan too if you insist on being a hazard to other drivers.;)

    I ran HIDs and the light output is great but beam pattern sucks. splattered all over, not effective light. I went back to a high quality halogen. Also the way many kits install is simple plug and play but my issue was the headlight housing wasnt sealed like factory and on my off road trail runs if I come across water it gets in housing causing moisture in housing due to a poor seal on the back of the headlight.
