Nope. Just the light kit and I got the mounting brackets for the ballast $2.99. Shipping was a tad pricey, but I was still under $50 for the order.

I found my order, and I got them in August of 2013. So 5+ years with no issues whatsoever.

Order Items
QTY Item Information Item Number Price
1
DDM HID Kit, 35W, H11, 4500K
Bulb Color: 4500K
Bulb Type: H11
Wattage: 35 Watt DDM35W.H11.4500K $29.95
1
Pair of Mounting brackets for 35W DDM Ballasts
HID-Bracket-Slim-35W $2.99
Subtotal: $32.94
Shipping: $16.69
Sales Tax: $0.00

I too would like to see cutoff shots. I am also curious as to the color of the 4500k. I am worried about it being to yellow/halogen looking.

I was thinking about their 5000k or Ultra 5500k bulbs.

Post wall cutoff shots

I don't take orders. Always have had problems with authority.

This is the only pic I have on imgur, OEM halogen compared to the HID. 4300 is bright white, no hint of yellow. 5000 and above starts getting that blue tint to it, and you start losing light output.

Folks who do these plugnplay kits always claim cutoff is great until you ask for cutoff pics then they get amnesia. Truth is, the cutoff sucks when you cheap out and don't retrofit them properly.

I don't have any pics of the cutoffs, and I don't have the truck right now, so I can't take any. And I don't think I've ever been flashed by someone, and I live in a dark/rural area.

It's not like the OEM bulbs had great cutoffs, anyways. Newer vehicles, like my '15 Taurus, have great cutoffs on the OEM headlights.

didn't ask if you were flashed, asked for cutoff

Here is a pic of the Morimoto HIDs in my stock low beam reflector housings.
