DDM HID? What The Hellll!

aight no more slim ballast for me then.

 

^^^i have the apexcone ones from ddm (non-slim ballast). the ignighter is built in, so there is no external box...all-in-one kind of thing.

 

At last!!!!!!! After two and a half weeks of nothing from DDM i called today and the guy said they were sorry and i will be at my door tomorrow! Yahoo in time for mod day here in vegas! Now hope that they got my order right wish me luck!

 

I went down there yesterday to pick up a new set for my FJ. ON the phone, on Tuesday, they said they close at 5. I check their business hours online yesterday, and it said they are open 9am-5pm Monday-Friday. So i headed down there at 1 to find that they were closed. Been calling them ever since and no one answers =(. They have the cheapest HIDs and Ive never had any issues with their products but Ive been hearing shipping is a long time, and I want them now. Decisions Decisions...

 

Ya all say good luck brother!

 

even with all the complaints, people will still buy from them allowing them to do crappy buisiness. I ordered from them and recieved mine a week later, no complaints from me. Will I order from them again? depends on it I have 115 bucks to spend on one of slimcubby's GB's or not. I have a set of his HID and am pleased as well. I know atleast with him if I had problems it would be taken care of

 

Good i will order from them again for my girls car for sure! Just hate waiting!

 

Yeah, they 55w H4's were on back order. I ordered mine a while ago and only got the fogs in the mail. Tomorrow my headlight's should be here! Just have to be patient!

 

Yea youre right, Im still gonna order from them. LOL. Ill deal with an extra week of waiting to save 50 bucks!

 

I didnt feel like waiting on tuesday so I just drove to their store in oc and picked up my HIDs, thats the fastest way with out having to deal with bad costumer service bullshit.

 

I've ordered 2 kits from them and I have been nothing but UNHAPPY with the service I have received. Both of mine took a while to get here. The first kit I ordered, they sent me the wrong ballasts. I tried calling their customer service number many times with to answer at all. At that point I didnt worry about it anymore, I have heard horror stories about DDM before. When I decided to order my fogs, I tried call and e-mailing the company before i made the order. I wanted to make sure that everything I was going to order would work since I was going to be swapping parts. After calling a handful of times to a phone number that never got answered and sending a couple e-mails with no response, i gave up and just ordered my fog HIDs. On the order form there is a comment/concerns section that I filled out. I told them I had a problem with a previous order and I had some questions and my current order, left my e-mail AND phone number, and asked them to contact me. I'm still waiting on that call...

 

Yeah, I called them last week and told them they sent me the wrong ballast, and they said, "how do you know!?" i was like, ummm, "cause it says 35 watts on them!" He told me to use the customer service on their website and submit it through them that way. I just ate the $10 and kept them because they were for my fogs, and all the rep of 55w on the fogs....

On a plus note, I did get the headlights today! Installed without any issues at all!!! My buddy has the slim cubby HID kit and has nothing but problems with them. He also said that the DDM kit is A LOT nicer than the slim cubby kits, just FYI...

 

That's interesting there. It seems to be the opposite for most people that buy slims sets. I've always felt that way about his sets because 1) they seem somewhat expensive 2) he has never spoke of the brand of the lights, for all we know, they could be cheap egay lights packaged in a box.

 

I had the same problem with not recieving the lights. I ordered them 2 weeks ago and got them on Friday. Its hard to complain though for the price and its understandable that businesses get backordered. I put the lights in this weekend and man are they bright and look bitchin.

 

Just installed the hid's love them freaking bright!

 

Does anybody else have the H4 hi/Low kit? Mine came with a shield that covers the bottom half of the bulb, making my headlights look stupid. Is there anything I can do?

 

Buddy that is a het shield! How can it make it look stupied? Just asking like the light coming out of it?

 

Not necessarily stupid, but I don't like it. Only the top half of my headlights are lit up. In the pics you just posted of your kit, you have full headlight beams. I can take pics to clarify if that would help...

 

I just ordered some HIDs for my Hella 700ff conversion. Their site did say that they were backed up (on the bottom), but I hope I get them in soon. I'm in NorCal, so shipping shouldn't be that long.

I rarely have days where I can fit in modding, just hope they come in before that day. If not, it'll be a while before I can do the conversion and install.

 

This is necessary since the 2nd gen Tacomas' headlights are not designed for the HID application. If you look at other vehicles that do not use projectors with HIDs, you will also notice that only the top half is lit up (example: Lexus IS300). Without that shield, you would be blinding oncoming drivers. His picture "looks" like the whole reflector bowl is lit up because it is from a camera, not the human eye. The camera will make it appear so.
