why not? just don't expect them to not burn out in like 3 hours of use, because that's always possible.

ddm tuning is a crap shot..... for their hids at least. Took over a month for them to send my buddy a set of hids. Maybe there LEDS are a lot faster since they prob dont have them on back order but you never know with them. They dont like to tell you anything

Gonna disagree. Shipping is kinda slow, they use a manufacturer out of china (what HID company doesn't honestly), but I've had DDMs in multiple cars over a couple of years and never had an issue.

V-Leds


thats all I have to say


except that sometimes some bulbs arent as bright as others thus the cheap price. You get what you pay for. Either pay double and do it right the first time, or triple and find out the hard way. However, these will probably be sufficient for you because you cant miss what you didnt have I payed $59 for just my dome light and well, I can light up my neighborhood with it LoL (yea a bit much)

I just did a complete interior led upgrade and hid headlights and fogs from ddm on my gs. I also use the ddm hids on my gsxr750 and have never had a single problem over the years. I would recommend them to anyone!
