DDM H.I.D. Quality : Kawasaki ZX Forums: Kawasaki Ninja Forum

I know that several of you guys here run the H.I.D.'s from DDM so I'm wondering if you are happy with the quality of them or if you had it to do over again would you buy a different brand.

I've had several brands on different vehicles... and very pleased w/ DDM quality.
In one of the sets, i did get a bulb that burnt in one of my present cars, but i installed it fast and I think it's because i didn't clean the bulb, creating hot spots.
But very happy so far w/ 6 kits from them.

Only thing w/ the zx14 was that I had to revert polarity. since Kawa doesn't follow the standard for the +/- on the bulbs... regular bulbs doesn't make any difference on the direction of current anyways.. it's just a resistance.

Ok great. Six sets so they must be pretty good. Sounds good enough to me so I think I'll give them a try. Thanks a bunch there Eugenio!

On a related note, does one order 35w or 55w bulbs? I believe the 35w bulbs are shorter and not quite as bright as the 55w. Thoughts?

I have the high/low from them plus the wifes truck and I'm really pleased with the quality.

I will only buy from DDM we have a set in our 97 YOUKON, 97 cbrf3,and my 97 zx6r. My girlfriend and I are running the hi/lows in our bikes and they are all the 35 w

35 and 55 are same length.
I have all 55w on the zx14.. and would get 55 on all future kits... they just have more light output.
I can see the light pattern on the ground @ daylight... which I couldn't before... lol
I know it frustrates ppl when all 4 lights are on and they don't get away from the left lane... they don't stay long in front... and at least I know they see me.
