Need legal help DDM tuning hid lights melted my connector to my stock ballast smh
So I bought these bulb from this company to change out the stock bulbs because I didn't like the color. Then one of the bulbs just stop working and decided to change back to stock so I took the DDMtuning bulb out and this what I've seen smh . And there customer service told me that they'll give me a hid kit for free which still won't fix the problems smh and they have the pictures . So now I think about sueing them . What should I do?

If you didn't get them professionally installed, don't waste your time trying to sue them. Honestly, looks install related. I know it's a plug and play type thing but still have to make sure they're plugged in 100% correctly.
Is the damage bad enough as to where the factory bulbs won't fit back in there and/won't turn on?
Also, not sure if our ballast are 35 wt or 55 wt, but did you get the same wattage bulbs?!
M also, did you leave the plastic ring that comes with the aftermarket bulbs on when you had the hid in there?!?!

You have me skeptical on bulbs now too, I have Kensun HID bulbs from amazon and am thinking of getting Osram CBI for quality and light output reasons. I've nver had issues with any aftermarket HIT kit or bulbs but this thread has me a little shaky. Did the stock ballasts lock on to the bulbs correctly? It looks like they might have gotten loose and melted things. But I am not sure if there would be power to the ballasts because the circuit would have been broken.

I hate to say it, but its one of those cases where you get what you pay for. I run osram cbi bulbs with zero issues. Ddm has known to be a cheaper option. If you want quality bulbs look into www.theretrofitsource.com. you might even be able to get a replacement ballast pretty cheap.

Seriously? And how do you think that would turn out for you? You gonna sue em for $165? Might what to include pain and suffering in that as well...so maybe $2mill? I think theres a class action lawsuit guy around here with nothing better to do. Maybe he'll take your case?
Seriously, WTF people

had the same problem with ddm tuning bulbs as well. i just thought that i didn't plug the bulbs to the connectors tight enough which could've caused them to spark. only one side was affected though.
