Help me get HIDs!!!!

NewJerseyKK · **Posted:** Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:28 pm

Yes, there are probably 5 other threads on here about HIDs but hear me out. Im just trying to anticipate any problems I may have, before they occur.
I really want HIDs. Im thinking about getting the 35w from DDM. My questions are:
1. I understand that I will need a relay, does that come with the kit from them or do I need to order that separate from them?
2. Ive read on here that I may need a resistor and capacitor? I have no clue how to add those.
3. KKs use H13 bulbs? and theres an option for high and lows that are an extra 20 bucks. Do I need them?
4. What color do you all suggest?
5. Theres an option for a Dual in, Dual out. Do I need that? Or the error eliminator?

As you can see, Im hopeless. :cry:

1. The High/Low kit comes with the relay.
2. No.
3. Yes.
4. Not to buy these cheap HID kits. I've had three of them (really two, but the first kit I bought for a different vehicle was so craptacular that it all ended up being replaced, and my DDM kit is currently sitting in my glovebox with f'd up wiring, and my HID high beams would flicker, nobody knows why) Not to mention, the passenger side bulb didn't really lock in, it just spins around and I'd have to reseat it every once in a while.
5. No, and no.

Thanks for the help. What color do you have?

I *had* 5000k before I ripped it out during a moment of frustration. So right now I am using stock bulbs. Never buying another HID kit ever again unless a QUALITY retrofit kit, with projectors, comes around.

No way am I ever wasting my hard earned money ever again.

you will need the resistor and the relay kit most people that have problems dont have it setup up right
