Geez, that ddm wire harness did all that. Thats exactly why i ripped mine out.

Hope you get it all fixed and hopefully its just some wires melted.

WOW... the same problem. amazing,

You know when i called them about returning mine. The guy acted like he was too busy to even hear the problem only that i wanted a refund. Then later that nite, called me back, didnt answer, left voicemail, and emailed me, saying he couldnt remember why i called and wanted a refund.

Customer Service at its finest..

None of my bulbs worked, and yours caught on fire. I hope people see your posts and mine about them. I will not be ordering from them again.

Hope your tahoe gets back to normal again.

Still haven't got the refund... And the truck should be done today! The wiring repair costed 220 and I had a huge window problem where the controls where backwards on the drivers side after the window fell off track so I'm out 5 bills... Just glad I bought all my HD stuff over a period of time!... It's time to step out of the traverse and into the HOE !!

love your build bro its lookin great. and you and me both its so hard to figure out the color to do in the front. im between from top to bottom flat black or all flat black except steel bumper body color.. in your case i think it all depends on what wheels you want. if there gunna be chrome def make the cross in grille chrome and body color the rest. if there gunna be black then im lost like i am for me!! haha

looking good man. im curious about the HID problem. I have ddm's in my hoe and the only problem ive had is sometime when the truck starts the flicker and dont come on. then i have to turn them on by flashing my brights.. i did notice that when i hooked them up a couple years ago they would only work wired backwards lol...
