I wanted to add to this thread on my findings. After updating to the 55 watt from the 35 watt, I noticed there was a huge difference in visibility. The bad thing was that the light color I was dissapointed. I hated the standard yellowish look of the 5000K. I removed those and reinstalled the 6000K and man even better visibility than before. I was thinking that you cant interchange the ballast with other HID bulbs but you can. I did some research and you can. The bulbs are just numbers for all makes and models, and color. The HID ballast controls the output of the brightness and intensity. After reading this, I left them in place. All good, but I only tested them for about 20 minutes of driving around. I love my lights now. Its the best they have ever been, after the resealing and buffing them out with my high speed buffer and cutting compound.

Okay sorry for being so horrible on the updates. Been super busy lately and just got to installing them tonight
So it came in a simple box with 3 separate boxes in it. One for each of the ballasts and one for the lights. Overall they were in nice shape for being shipped from China, not tossed around or anything.
Ran into a problem and it had me stumped for while. I had them all wired up correctly and for some reason I just could not get them to turn on. So I went and tried them direct with the battery and they worked perfectly. Ended up going to the DDM website and found out that they had reverse polarity. So I just plugged them in opposite and they worked!
Here they are!
I really don't think these pictures do them enough justice. They look A LOT brighter in person. I'm probably going to go somewhere to get some better pictures later on but overall for $50 shipped they weren't a bad deal, I love em!
