    i took a look at the dmmtuning place and it seems legit. I can't remember off the top of my head what our dual bulb type is. i didn't see the fog light bulb on that list for possible kit either or am i not looking close enough? what's everyones experience with their hid kits?

    Cool, i'm going to be buying some soon. Is the difference between the 35w and 55w worth it? Do the bulbs burn out sooner? The brighter the better for where i am especially at night and in a storm...Gona do yellow hid fogs at 35w too.

    Not trying to thread jack, but he said he got his answers soooooo... Can you use a kit from DDM and retrofit with the kit later? how do i say this... Like if i dont have the 300+ dollars for a kit from TheRetrofitSource, can i buy the DDM kit, and then buy shrouds and ballasts later and retrofit the kit from DDM?
