DITTO! DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THEM!!! check out my thread history regarding my M3 bumper from them. They have been nothing but a headache and if you have any problems you are SOL. Some guys on here have ordered parts from them and never did get them including me. STAY AWAY!

dryan81 · 08-26-2011, 10:52 AM

i bought 3 different HID kits on seperate occasions from them ..... no issues to date

dragazn · 08-26-2011, 11:06 AM

bought 5 sets of HID for friends and family, with 1 being bad after 1 year and they honor their lifetime warrenty policy and mail me another one. Maybe just HID...

Sound slike they may be ok for lights. But for bigger things Ive had a horrible experience. I wouldn't want to take a risk with any compnay that gets mixed reviews like this. At best you May have a good experience and you May have a bad exerience. Go with a more reputable company so you WILL have a good experience

i would stay away from it. I have a hid kit for my fogs and everything was good for about 5 months then one of the ballasts went bad. With their lifetime warranty i sent it back about one month ago and I just got an email saying that they shipped the new one out yesterday... so i would assume it will be here in a week or two.

All in all everything is very slow with them.

Lolitskasey · 08-26-2011, 12:05 PM

I have ordered 10 hid kits and bulbs, not one problem yet.

cisf0rcalvin · 08-26-2011, 12:06 PM

I heard the DDM HID bulbs give off a lot of UV light. This will cause damage and premature aging to your headlamps (your AE rings may turn yellow if you use the AE kit). Go with higher quality quartz bulbs that filter out the UV rays.

revlimit · 08-26-2011, 12:09 PM

For those that purchased from them, are they fog lights or AE?

klove83 · 08-26-2011, 01:09 PM

I have bought my hid kit from them and made my own error cancelers and 6 months later they still work like a charm. I bought my Hammon lip from them for 70 bucks... Great product... I bought my m3 side skirts from them. Perfect fitment. I bought my e36 hid headlights with angels replacement bumper... Nothin but good things.

People with negative comments need to chill and contact the company with there concerns. Shipping can be slow at times but there products are great quality

e92LuNaTiC · 08-26-2011, 01:16 PM

Never have dealt with DDM Tuning, but I can personally vouche for Alex@Alpine. They carry HID kits for Angel Eyes and Fogs, I have both kits and their A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Just my .02 cents

They dont answer, return calls, or reply to emails. What else would you have me do? Fly out there and visit them? You seem to have not had a reason to contact them because you havent had a problem. If there is a problem youre screwed bc you CANT contact them.

revlimit · 08-26-2011, 01:59 PM

Do you suggest getting the regular or the slim ballast?

cisf0rcalvin · 08-26-2011, 04:26 PM

Go with slim. Engine bay is really small so slim fits a lot easier.

Rotary Rasp · 11-13-2011, 03:46 AM

I don't see any HID AE kit on DDM's website. Link?

fdriller9 · 11-13-2011, 10:29 AM

I would go with highperformancebulbs.com

I haven't personally bought anything from them but alot of people seem to like their products/customer service.

crazydrummer · 11-13-2011, 12:38 PM

Don't order anything but HID kits from them. I've had shipping take forever with them, bad customer service, etc. but $40 for an HID kit? Impossible to beat. I've been running one of their slim kits in our beater Tahoe for over 3 years now no problems

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 11-13-2011, 08:54 PM

Their HID kits are notorious for being low quality, they wont work on this car error free.

For the cost you get what you pay for IMO.

There are other error free high quality options out their for angel eyes and other lighting.

Rotary Rasp · 11-14-2011, 11:42 AM

I have two sets of DDM hid kits from 2009 and both a working great still. People just like to bash them because of their price. It's like the stupid $200 DP threads....

That is 100% FALSE. I'm using their full size ballast without and errors for my fogs. (nor do I have error cancelers installed)
