Default HID kit help

One of my bulbs on my sc4 went out yesterday and I was wanting to upgrade to a HID kit. Can anyone point me to a company/online site that is reliable? I've been searching online but I'm having trouble deciding. If anyone can point me in a direction, wud be greatly appreciated.

he is right. not to sound like a **** but if you took the time to do some research on google, at least do some research on the forum? there is a search button. anyways, look into ddm tuning. cheap and they have lifetime warranty and good quality. never had a problem with them

Bought these last week. Easy install and quality looks good. Time will tell.

FYI. I had to reverse the polarity by flipping the plugs to the ballast. This is not unusual

I have a 93 SC 400

Check out the Vendor Marketplace located here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...rketplace-118/

We've got quite a few vendors that sell HID's. Also check the lighting section for reviews and information on different HID kits.

DDM Tuning. I've had mine since I bought my SC, never had any kind of problem with them. Never even blinked once. Cheapest in the market and comes with a lifetime warranty too.

I've got the DDM raptor kits, which aren't available any more, in mine (not the slim ballasts) and I love them. 6000K low beams and 3000K fogs (plus some yellow ebay tint). Pardon the old picture with the 4x4 height, but its the best showing off the lights at dusk...

I had one foglight ballast go bad after about 5 months, but I sent it out to DDM and the next week I had a new ballast in the mailbox. Knock on wood that's been my only issue and these are my third and 4th sets of their HIDs (had them on my previous car too)

The new batch of DDM Tuning sucks, big time. Pwned about 3 ballast already, each with about 3 months of usage on 2 different cars.

And yes I've had the older DDMs before and it was pretty good.
