Default HID Problem

Hey guys,

I installed a DDM tuning HID 6000k kit about a week ago. Initially when I first installed them they did look similar in color, but a week later they do not. I have attached a picture, what do you think is wrong with it? Thanks!

Contact then and let them answer your question. I have no clue how it turned out Luke that.

It's hard to tell from that picture. Our headlights are aimed at different heights in order to avoid blinding other drivers. Do you have any pictures of the light it outputs (like against a wall) rather than a picture of the car itself? That difference in color might just be the cutoff that we're seeing. In any case, if it is different, best response would be to contact DDM about it.

I'm having a simillar issue, but with my Hid fog light kit that i installed yesterday. I tried calling, but couldn't get anyone on the phone. Does anyone know if they have an email?

It's hard to tell from the pic, but if you look at the reflection on the ground, one side looks yellow and the other side look almost like its halogen. I going tryto mess with the aim and see if that helps.

@sick

There's a number on their website 858-663-2020, you might have to be on hold for a little while. But they got me set up for an exchange, so lets hope this time it all goes well and matches up. Btw, is that 6k in the lows? The car looks badass!
