DDM Tuning HIDs
Just swapped the ballast on my 35w 6000k kit with a 55w ballast and installed some 3000k fogs with golden yellow tint.

Here's the problem with DDM, they ship their stuff from China. When it goes through ICS, it can take a day, or a week. Mine went through customs in one day, according to the USPS Tracking System. Now it's sitting in the dreaded "Jamaica, NY" status. Now I have read online (and know from past overseas orders) that it can take up to two weeks, once moving to this location. I am not sure what the "phenomenon" is with Jamaica USPS. It tends to be inherent though with many people. Mine has personally been sitting there for a week now, with no word. Maybe they are playing football with it, I don't know
I would like to receive my DDM kit soon, as my car is getting a body kit this weekend and would like to have this to put in as well. I have already replaced my parking lights with some white projector type LED's from iJDMtoy store that look great, just missing the lights now...
here is a quote I pulled of a USPS blog site about Jamaica NY USPS,
I ordered a package from Hong Kong. I knew I should have gone with UPS or FedEx. The tracking info said the package was in Jamaica New York. That was on the 18th of June. It's the 24th and I haven't gotten it yet. I live in Philadelphia! I monkey on a scooter could get my package to me from New York in less than five days. USPS needs a revamp.

Mine did take a while until I received it. I think it was about 3 weeks. I remember when I was checking its status, mine was stuck in China for a majority of the time. But when it got to US grounds it arrived on my door step in a couple of days.

The lens/projector is made for the halogens, so yes. It will produce less light(not a huge amount) and it wont be properly aimed either since there will be no auto leveling mechanism.

^ Very true, although the retrofit offers way more lumens than replacing the stock halogen with any halogen bulb on the market.
All of my crying must have been heard, because I received my kit yesterday. Not bad, as it only took a week.
