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

Subtotal: $32.94

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.

Ok update time. Ordered Hikari’s Eye of Voltron led bulb after some research. Had really good reviews and side-side comparisons. Unfortunately they don’t fit. There is a little less than 3cm of space from lip of bulb socket to the frame. These bulbs were a little OVER 3cm, so the headlight assembly wouldn’t slide back in far enough for the mounting screw holes to line up. Now I’m wondering if this is the case with most H11 led bulbs with the cooling fan. They all look about the same dimensions in the pictures.

On a positive note I’m real happy with my new fog lights
Oem on the left, led on the right

See my post here about H9 bulbs in regular housing - its just a brighter H11. Reflectors are made for halogen bulbs. I do like leds in fogs (also have yellow), and those hikaris are excellent in my 3 series fogs...

I got the supernova v.4 led low beams and also their fog lights. The low beams do fit but barely before they would touch the support behind the headlight. There may be 1cm of space between the bulb fan and the support. The output is good IMO, and so far no one has flashed their lights at me. The picture wasn't very focused, and it was starting to snow

So I bought some of JDM leds low/hight light bulbs, of what I read please correct if wrong. They won't fit if I get them to fit, on my denali I don't have the special eye lens so they will look horrible?
