im a little hesitant on doing my own retrofit cuz the last time i tried, it ended horribly. im not really too picky. all im aiming for is more light output and the white color. i was thinking of going with HIDs because they seem like simple plug an play. i like the projectors, they're really cool but wouldnt they look a little "Ricy" on a jeep?
i checked out the kit you suggested and it seems a little inexpensive. i thought the average kit goes for no less than $100. think you can share a link to make sure im actually looking at the right set

DDM Tuning 35W and 55W HID Kits This is the kit. I got the 4300k (find their 6000k is too blue for my liking), 35w hi/low for the headlights with relay harness. Comes to about $60 before shipping. Don't get just the lows as the Jeeps headlights have the high low on the same bulb and there was someone else on this forum that got a kit from ddm and said it sucked... he also had just the lows so personally I think it was just causing him issues because of that.

Oh they are inexpensive. I got into these guys back when the average budget kit was no less then $200 years back. Friend of mine was going to go with these and considering how cheap they advertised their kits I passed on the offer as I just dismissed them as another ebay knock off type of company. About a year later his were still going strong with no issues so figured I would try it in my girlfriends corolla. Still works! DDM Tuning 35W and 55W HID Kits This is the kit.

I haven't tried any other brand, but I got the 55w 6000k hid kit from ddm with the error eliminates. Install was a hassle, mostly just trying to find a spot to mount the ballasts and whatever else goes along with the kit. After I installed it, the lights were actually angled too low, so I angled them upwards and it is very good. The cutoff for the light spread is really clear and you don't blind other drivers if you have them angled right! I passed multiple cars today and even a cop, no flashing me or anything. The problem with the kit is it doesn't stop the hi beam flickering that a lot of people get. A capacitor should fix it though. But I wouldn't recommend any illegal hid conversions, however the stock housings project the light like how projectors would. I also got the white led fogs from them to match the headlights, but they are different shape than stock so be careful when you buy them. Took about 20 days to come in from china

Does anyone have any other HID kits other then DDM? I really want HIDs and I also want to do it right and not have to buy 10 different kits before one finally works. I just can't afford to do that. But I will spend the money at first to do it right. So if you can please help. And thanks ahead of time

I picked up the V3 projectors and H1 kit from DDM last week. I haven't installed it yet as I'm still waiting on epoxy from Amazon. With everything, I'll have the entire kit to include a donor set of OEM housings for right >$200.
The actual projectors look like they're great quality, and testing the solenoid high beam function with a 9V battery is quick and snappy.
I've never had a bad experience with DDM products, and I would happily recommend them to anyone. I'll be posting a DIY/Review once I've completed the project.
