Default DDM Tuning HID headlights

So,,, I'm not a big fan of super bright headlights. First,, they cost way too much for the popular brands,, IE:JW Speaker, Trucklight, even Quadratech. Secondly, I'm not a big fan of blinding other drivers on the road. However,, I finally grew tired of the crappy headlights on the Jeep. A buddy of mine told me he recently purchased HID headlights for his daughter's first car. While there, the folks at DDM Tuning told him they have a HID kit for Jeeps. Its cheap,,,, like,, less than $100 cheap. This finally made me give brighter headlights a try. The kit is complete with all the wiring, ballasts, and bulbs. It took me about an hour to install and was easy as pie. These lights use the stock housing and come in several different configurations. You can get low beam only,, low and high beam, and 35 watt or 55 watt. I got the 55 watt low and high beam. The difference in vision provided by these lights is amazing! It is a very white light, as most HID's are.
For the price,,, I do not think these lights can be beat! I just wanted to let the Jeep community know, there is an alternative to $300-$500 headlight solutions. DDM Tuning!!!
PS I cant remember if their warranty is 2 year or lifetime. Either way,,,awesome!! And,, I don't have pics,, but if enough people want them,, Ill take them and post later,, but just imagine,, bright, white light out of the stock headlights!!

I've been on the fence about these and you might have sold me on them. What color did you get? Pics would be great.

Yeah I personally love DDM tuning, just made another order of 5 kits lol. One for my Jetta, 3 for co-workers, and one for a step brother. Should be about 20 some kits I've gotten from those guys and only ever had one hi/lo relay fail in a TJ few years back.

For headlights I always get them with the extra harness and 35watt. On the Jeep I've had to aim them a little down after lifting but otherwise I haven't been flashed since when I remember to turn the high beams off on the highway. I tried 55watts in some DIY aux lights and they were bright, can't imagine using them on the road lol.

I like what i see so far but can you do some shots from the drivers seat down the road. These lights look impressive when looking at the jeep but i want more light on the road.
