    I'm debating between the ddm kit and slim cubby's group buy kit. Does anyone have some pics of cutoff patterns? Like against a wall at 30+ feet?

    All depends on your headlights.....





    My DDM Raptor 35w 8000K kit is scheduled to be delivered to my house this Thursday. I can't wait:D

    I just installed the 35w DDM Hi/Low beam system in my taco and boy are they bright! For street driving, and even off road, the 35watt is all you need unless you are trying to mimic the sun. I chose the 5000k color because it was closer to white and its like driving with very bright Fluorescent lights on the road. I had to adjust my headlights down at least 1" as to not blind my fellow drivers and it really didnt effect the amount of light shining on the road. I cant express enough how bright these are. I am extremely happy with this set.

    The high beams are extremely bright as well.

    well I ordered the slim ballast kit on jan 1. As of today I still havent heard or recieved any email conformation. I finally got a hold of someone at DDM and he said they were out of stock. I hope they dont screw up and send me the raptor set. I know their busy but orders are orders and its in black and white. well see what happens.

    They'll email you confirmation once they ship it. Same thing happened to me. There's a lot of people sending/shipping things so it takes a while. I finally had mine installed today and it was so nice and bright. I ordered the Apexecone Raptors and I love the looks of it right now. We'll see how they are down the road. The aim of my lights are retarded because I thought the "aim dials" were suppose to be screwed out to open up the housing when I did my BHLM. :eek:
