    Anyone purchase this kit? If so, please provide your comments. Also it says 35W or 55W but when making the selections on the website it only has the option for 35W?

    I have a friend that purchased a DDM kit. I'll try and get him to comment on your thread. I have had good luck with the eBay kits...ballast and bulbs seam to work well, I've only ever had issues w/the harness and getting a good ground. good luck.

    I had the DDM 55w in my STi and I loved them, given they were in a projector housing. Since the tacoma's do not have projectors 35 might be better for other drivers.

    A retro fit is the only way IMO = no glare.

    I'm not sure if you could get a H1 Hi/Low HID kit. it would probably have to be a single beam bulb.

    Couldn't say if the eBay housing would provide better light than stock. The DDM kit would defiantly be brighter then both.
