Problems? I have had DDM in my MR2 Spyder for 3 years (and other cars in the past) without any issues. Many of my friends also have DDM products and have no issues at all. I have had their products last 4-5 years, which is pretty standard for headlight bulbs/aftermarket ballasts.

I picked up their D4S 4500K replacement bulbs (left) and compared them to stock HID bulbs (right). I have nothing but good things to day about their bulbs and ballasts from use over the years.

You need to swap your wheels (from one side of car to the other) so the blade of the spokes face forward when spinning.
Thanks much appreciated!

While you may have good experiences, the fact remains that a LOT of people have experienced issues with their DDM stuff. The Morimoto kits are of a higher quality, and have a much lower failure/defect rate. This, of course, could be due to the simple fact that DDM has been around longer than Morimoto, but having owned and installed a Morimoto Mini H1 projector retrofit kit on a previous car, I can attest to the quality and say that it is definitely worth it.
