dude, I thought you were selling? :P

$55 bux? Is that not a crazy good price considering most kits are like $250-$500? These guys legit?

bad_azz_bmr · 06-18-2008, 12:00 PM

they seem to be legit, there name gets tossed around on R3V quite a bit....

i figure its a little more than a set of silverstars. lol...

i ordered the 5k kit so it will be nice and white and not blue

I've been researching these guys too, they seem to have a legit reputation on the various forums. They have DDM branded kits with lifetime warranty, and I assume they're the main distributor of the ApexCone brand kits. The DDM kits come in 35W, they also offer 55W kits for an additional charge.

/\ yeah i have been reading the same info, i just called them and they gaurantee there kit for life (aslong as it doesnt look like its been dropped or broken), bulbs and ballasts... they said the special is for this week only, usually its $110 a kit...

Initial D.oug · 06-18-2008, 03:30 PM

alright I'm game. Gonna pick up a set too.

What part(s) did you order?

Initial D.oug · 06-19-2008, 11:13 AM

My car has euro headlights so I bought the

Apexcone Brand HID 35W KPIP SpecialpadSponsored by kpipalldaway2!

All the features and performance without the price. This kit contains all the content of the Philips or Hella kits for a fraction of the price. Warranted by Apexcone forever, this kit is the workhorse of the industry and contains our exceptional Philips based bulbs. Rugged and dependable is how we describe this HID system.

Includes:
- Apexcone 35W Full-size ballast
- HID Bulbs

with 6000K H1 bulbs.

I figured I'd try these bulbs out. If they look crappy, I'll just buy the 5000K.

the price is for one set only so either hi/low/fog's, if i didnt have my yellow piaa fog bulb's i would have grabbed a set for my fog's as well..

best bet is to order 2 sets, H3 for the fog's and 9006 for the low's, hi's would be a waste IMHO...

Hey I have the same year e30 as yours (projector headlights) and I want to get this kit before the sale ends. What is the kit and part number? I went to the link but I found it somewhat confusing!

And they are soooo illegal to install in your car....

Why?

Weeman83 · 06-19-2008, 04:53 PM

I don't know HID lingo, but isn't 35W kind of weak?

I have NA pattern ellips, what do I need for lows?

E30M3 · 06-19-2008, 04:55 PM

They're not DOT legal, blah,blah. But lets be honest putting these on a low to the ground e30 are not going to be nearly as blinding as say the factory installed HID's on the new SUV's these days.

Linc you need the 9006 kit. Not sure about the wattage, I think thats pretty usual though, maybe a HID person can chime in
