I ordered my bulbs on the 24 of april and got them may 3rd. Took almost 2 weeks but definatly worth it. Also sent them an email about shipping and set the priority to *high* and it took them about 2-3 days to get back to me. I've had so far a good experience with them. Lets hope these bulbs dont burn out

I just received in my kit from DDM tuning.... I am pissed. Both bulbs are non-functional but the ballast is putting out voltage. The bulbs have a foggy yellow tint in the chamber which contains the gas. They also took about 2.5 weeks to come in from CHINA. FML i just emailed them for a refund, lets see how this goes.

I had bad experience with them too. I had ordered two sets from them for my friends. One was fine and the other was a POS. Never going to buy from them again. Please ppl don't fall for their cheap price cuz you will get poor quality products.

i don't know guys, i wouldn't complain if i bought a $35 HID kit. seriously. how much is the OEM stuff? $120 for a used ballast, then $60+ for a philips bulb? what did you expect from something that's 1/6 the price? *shrugs*

I just got my 2 6000K kits from DDM. Shipping took exactly 6 days (on their website it says allow 7-10 days for shipping) Installed them on Thurdsay, and no problems yet. They look great and only cost $80 (2 digital slim ballast kits). This thread concerns me now lol. I will report back if I come across any issues.
