Has anyone tried this HID?

Yes. Used to use their kits a lot back in the day when they ran all the crazy sales on the forums. Never had an issue. Haven't had a set in years so don't know if quality went up or down.

I've used those kits in two previous vehicles, I had 3000k in the fog lights actually. For my e90 I spent more and went with Morimoto but I never any issues with DDM. You'll need an error canceller or coding to prevent bulb out warnings.

I also had them for years back in 2008-2013. Had so many of them that when some ballasts crapped out I simply used a spare one. I never tried to see how their warranty is... maybe I should.

Interesting so far positive experience, I'm just wondering esp for $30 can't go wrong even buying 3 sets lol but if its a hassle to change it though lol. Even if you get what you paid for still a great deal.

In my personal experience as well as close friends you have a 50/50 chance. My close friend had them fail within 2 weeks. I had another friend have one dead on delivery and I had a couple others who had them for over 6 months problem free. The funny thing is the guys that did have them fail just ended up buying HID from High Performance Bulbs. They originally just focused on the cost and ended up paying for HID's twice. Roll the dice.

Ive used these on many cars and have had 1 ballast die out of at least 10 kits. Plus with the lifetime warranty you have nothing to lose. The only downside is that shipping usually takes forever because they're dropshipped from China...

I have had 3 sets from ddm tuning for my civic and sonata. The ballast crapped out in about 3 months in all 3 sets. Their warranty is stupid too. Just pay a bit more and get decent set. I have not tried the ddm on my BMW though.

I have had one set in my bike for about 5 years, two sets in my truck for about 3 years, and set in another car for about a year. Only had an issue with one bulb that sometimes wouldn't fire. I replaced it with a spare and so far so good! No issues with any of the other sets. Hard to beat the price.

I recently (in January) bought a set for my new Mtech bumper and for $29 they have been going on really great. i have had a set on my earlier car as well from 2008 until 2011 and that never failed me. Back then I had the fogs and the HID headlights from DDM and they both were amazing.

I have used them in my last couple of cars.
I have a couple of kits that I pulled, but I haven't has the time to swap in HID for my fogs.

I have the H4 kit in my motorcycle.

They do honor their warranty.
I'd buy another kit from them in a heartbeat.

I've bought probably 4 or 5 sets from them in the last 7 years. I've only had one ballast fail to date and that was after about 4 years of use.

I would recommend them.
