DDM 9007 HID kit only $45 shipped! But do I need only thing else for the GTP?

[ls6velless454]

On the website and really want to purchase the DDM slim 35W kit, but just curious if I need anything additional such as the hi/lo dual in dual out? LMK I'm going for best visibility as possible so I was thinking 5000k is perfect. Just curious what you guys think is necessary before I purchase this thanks!

The kits should be complete. 5k is too yellow for me, I run 8k's in both my headlamps and fogs. No high beams for me either.

Def. want as white and bright as possible for visibility. Finally never thought I would see the day hids would be $35 plus shipping all my cars are going to go get them!

4300 is pure white.. anything after that heads more blue -> purple -> pink


how does 5000k resemble any shade of yellow?

I like 5K HID's, anything else is rice to me. But you gotta remember the wattage on the ballast can change color.

I have 8000K HID's on the GTP with a 55w ballast and they look very similar to my previous 5000K's with 35w ballast. I was told this when I bought the better ballasts also.

The wattage has nothing to do with output its what it draws from the car. if you have light out indicators on a dash of a car you will see that witht he 35w system. Thats the 55w systems only purpose is to keep the bulb out warning from coming up. I see no color change my buddy ordered 6k 55w from the same company as I order all my HIDS from two weeks after I ordered 6k for my gto in 35w. The colors where identical.

The only way you get brighter is the lower the kelvin. Also I noticed that all companies 6K or any color will look different than the others. If I went on ebay and order 10 kits in 6K and they where all different bulb makers not one will match even remotely close. One will look like someone elses 12k dark ass blue.

Im just going by what the sales guy told me when I asked about the 55watt ballasts. Its on the website also.

HID Conversion Kit
You can't buy a system with a smaller ballast. Fully digital, draws less than 6 amps at start up and 3.4 amps at normal operating temperature. This system provides 3200-3400 Lumens at 35 watts and an amazing 5000 Lumens at 55 watts per bulb. In comparison, a typical halogen bulb produces 900-1200 lumens.

The 55W system ballasts are about 1 cm longer than the 35W ballasts. 55w kits tend to wash out some of the color of the HID bulb due to the light output( for example, a 55w 8000k will look similar in color to a 35w 6000k kit).

Complete, “plug and play” kit, with no cutting or splicing. 93-97, and 67-69 Kits include new OE style Lense housings.

5k is to yellow?

8k is to rice blue!

 

[Fish]

Im more of a 6K person myself.

4300 FTW. After a few years in the GTP they've gone to a more blue haze.

 

[snoop]

haha, im with eagle on this one. 5k....not for me. when i had my infiniti i had 12k in there, that was mainly for the look (and boy i loved that shit lol). but if/when i go that route for my prix, its 8-10k for me. i love that blueish look!!!

5000k here, 3000k fog lights, and they're VERY yellow.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I feel like 4300k-6000k is about right. Anything higher is just blue/purple and belongs on something with a triple wing and fart can from autozone.

x2 blue is pretty rice but everyone has their own opinions

 

[sp_dynasty]

6000k 55w in my gp and gsxr

 

[bikrboy128]

ive got 5000k on my jeep and it's pretty much white with a very slight blue tint.
6000k on my gto, and it's light blue. borderline rice imo, wouldnt go any higher than that. the light output lowers anyway.

 

[Turk]

Shit, the bulbs for the halos in my M3 are 8000, barely blue tinted. I think it also has to do with the company. 6000 by one company will look different than 6000 by another.

 

[ls6velless454]

Will thanks for all the comments I guess I will go with the 35w 5000k kit. I would rather just run as white as possible. Also I was just curious with the kits what's up with the dual in dual out? If it's not necessary I won't got it. I assumed it came with the correct harness for the ballast.

 

[ls6velless454]

BTW nice vid of the G8 vs. the M3 I always wanted a G8. I just don't want the payments. I was pretty happy with the cars because within 2 years the depreciated roughly around 10-12k, but they seem to be sticking around there. If I ever find one for around $15k not wrecked I may consider getting one.
