That is a good price. Anyone have experience with this company or know if they have a warranty? Would these fit in an aftermarket housing like the IPF?

I hear HIDs aren't great for high beams because they don't come on and stay on. The HID bulbs take a minute to warm up and the repeated cold cycling of flicking high beams on and off shortens their lifespan. At least that's what I read..

I've had the DDM hi/lo kit in my JK for over a year, no issues except for a minor buzzing sound, the high beams arent really that great. but the low beams make up for them and they are bright as heck (5k headlights, 6k foglights) If i remember correctly DDM has a lifetime warranty on the bulbs.

I keep the original bulbs in the car just in case as well.

All you guys are going to do is blind all on coming traffic. I can't stand these HID kits.
