Dammmm. I Think DDM Sent The Wrong Stuff

so i just got my hella 500ff's mounted yesterday and have been waiting anxiously for my hid's to come in, i ordered a 6000K H3 55W kit. today i got home and they had arrived.

i tore open the packaging and found this.

everything seems fine



is this a h3 bulb? it seems like its correct


you can see where the stickers were peeled off


it reads 12v 35W.


i cant see why the ballast would say 35W unless it is in fact a 35W. i hope im wrong. it was a friggin pain in the ass to get these here to say the least. just because of the shitty service i will no do business with them again, now i gotta go through the hassle of a return/refund on top of the fact that im moving in a couple weeks. fuckin great.

 

I feel you bro, same thing happened to me, well not quite, my stuff was just defected.... good luck with the return process lol.

 

whats the packaging slip say?

 

That sucks. I had the same thing happen ordering HIDs from them, unfortunately it was my bad as I must not have clicked the 55w option on the pull-down on their site.

 

Raptor HID Kit, H3, 55W, 6000k

 

ahh crap, i should open my packaging to see if they sent the right ones. haven't had time to do the install but i better check!

 

hope yours turned out better than mine

 

Why do people go for the Apexcone kits? $10 more and you have lifetime warranty and slim ballasts...

 

this is true i did and never had any problems!

 

both apexcone and the DDM slims have a lifetime warranty.

 

yea man you got screwed, slim ballasts are the cool black ones.

 

i have 2 sets of apexcones and a set of DDM slims and i cant tell a difference besides the size of the ballast

 

Why did you order H3s? The Tacomas use h4s

 

hellas dont

 

Oops my bad. I thought these were going in his headlights, he said he had mounted the hellas already. In any case, that sucks.

 

they sent me the wrong lights the first time too

 

the ballast should have a sticker on it. If it doesn't (like the OP) then idk how you can tell

 

update: they sent me the right stuff, but after trouble shooting the crap out of the bulbs, I found out that the ballasts are busted. I called DDM and left a message, I hope they respond fast (I doubt it though)
