35w. Less strain on the wiring.

4k to 6k. 4300 is what is used in OEM bulbs in HID equipped vehicles. It would be what you want to get closest to.

The higher the Kelvin the more color the light will have.

4300K will probably give you the brightest, whitest light with the best visibility. 6000K would work well too. Anything higher than that will be blue, green, purple, pink, etc..

Here is a generic picture but I'm certain that if you do some searching you'll find a lot more info. out there

If its not strain on the wires, then its on the bulb. May have had my information mixed up. Im pretty sure that the brightness between 35W kits and 55W kits are not noticeable, but the bulbs should last longer with 35W running through them.

Do some research on it and teach me something ;)

The ddmtuning.com kits are in fact plug and play - trust me, I own one and I've installed a whole bunch of them. I'm personally running the 4500k kit, I feel like it's the closest to white that they have.

Any idea where you're mounting the ballasts yet?

ive got the ddm 55w kit @ 5000K, but i ran new wiring with a relay to avoid damaging/melting the stock wires

I own two digital HID. One on my bike and the second one on my truck. The HID on my bike is a 35w bulbs is hella bright with a 6k that is. For the one on my truck, I have a 55w (6k) on it and have ppl flashing me cuz dey think I'm drivig wit my high beams on. Wut I'm trying to say is that te 55w put a long distance beam out wit a higher light output. I would suggest to get a 35w HID. I like it better than the 55w. Just me...

Had 6500k HIDs on my third car(nissan 100nx) and hat was kinda laser blue... then had a choice on my other car for 4300k or 6000k and to be honest I found 4300k brighter because white color reflects more colors than blue... blue looked very cool to me but visibility was at least 20% lower so stuck with white HIDs...

Good point of white points - cops dont really notice that u have aftermarket bulbs, so u void a ticket ;)

I just got ddmtunings 35watt 5000K plug in and play.


Only pic I have ill get some night pics later.

As for the ballast, the passengers side I slid it under the abs hidden:


, and for the drivers side i ghetto mounted it haha:

and the only reason i mounted it like that was becuase i didnt feel like taking the bumper off. I might do a cleaner install later for the drivers side though.

Mine came with only double side tape and i got the regular sized ballist not the slim ones. So far there holding up good used about 12 hours id say
