I JUST spent $300 on my set of lows/fogs like..2 months ago =/ *sigh*

but I have no complaints about my kit....excellent quality, just..if these kits are just as good, I wish I woulda bought these instead

Who did you buy your kits from?

 

[Tribalbreak]

i have the ddm raptors in my lows and they are great... never had an issue on the nali or in the wifes car... had them about 9 months now... so far so good... very good quality

Just ordered the 35w 6k kit. I can wait another week for them to come in.

 

[sparg93]

wow...i just checked out their website, pretty cheap stuff.

Anyone use the 55w kit?

 

[DenaliAK]

Got one on the way. Looks like I'll be experimenting with whether or not it'll melt my housings....lol.

I've had ddm raptors in my lows and fogs for over a year but one of the fogs went out so I haven't used them in awhile. No issues with my highs so hopefully its just a bulb, kits are so cheap I'm gonna buy the slim ballast 55w 5000k lows and 35w 4500k fogs next week. $120 shipped ain't shit

 

[DenaliAK]

Max--

Have you tried any 55w HID's in your fogs? I have a kit on the way, and people are telling me I'm going to melt the lights.

 

[sparg93]

i'm curious too...i was looking at the 55w for my lo's and wondered if i'd melt the housing on my 99 hoe

 

[Max]

I'm not risking it unless I swap to a piaa housing or modify the stockers.

 

[sparg93]

any recommendation on modifying the stockers?

35w should be ok in the stock housing?

vata...yes, that's the harness you want. Pretty good price right now, too. Hard to beat $15.

 

[Tdub]

Educate me... what is the difference between a 9005CB and the HID kit you are talking about. The HID is for low beams, correct?

 

[dropmech]

Is that harness needed for the 35w kit? Mine's already on the way but I didn't order the harness.

 

[DenaliAK]

Depends on how lucky you are. Probably not necessary for headlights, but if you're running the fogs I'd get it as they are a lower wattage bulb so most likely have wimpy wiring. Also depends on the quality of the ballasts. To be safe, get a wiring harness, but if you don't it could work fine, too.

lol

I'm sure that was helpful. It just depends on the vehicle, ballasts, your current draw, battery condition....

cool, thanks for the help.

any codes for free shipping out there?

I ordered a 55W kit 4 days ago and I got it yesterday....talk about QUICK SHIPPING. I'm planning to install this weekend. Is there much difference between my 35W 6000K vs. 55W 8000K?

 

[tybardy]

i ordered some HIDs (took some flack for being a poser)...

Anyone know a good housing to make the HIDs perform to their intended capability?

 

[DenaliAK]

Got mine Monday, but haven't had a chance to install yet. It just snowed 1 1/2 feet and it's about 5 degrees, so I'm in no rush to lay under the truck and freeze my butt off. Having no garage in this weather is a bummer.

Tybardy: There are numerous threads on good projectors for HID's, but the consensus seems to be that DEPO makes the best aftermarket ones. They should do fine, and can be found from varioius vendors in the $130 range in a few different styles.

If I can borrow a friend's garage, I am going to try to get mine installed in the next couple of days.

These Raptor 55w ballasts are HUGE. Bigger then my OEM ballasts in my retro, and I thought those were big....
