To anybody wanting cheap HID kits for fog lights or non xenon cars... DDM tuning have seemingly been giving away apexcone and other brand HID kits for a few weeks on bmw forums and such it seems...

I got my slim ballast HID's today and they work fantastic in my fogs!

Disclaimer: I do NOT work for ddm/apex cone, i don't make commission and i am not a vendor, i just got a great deal (I paid for the $39 full size ballast and they sent me slim ballast instead) and i'm recommending others do the same!

 

let me know how they're doing in 3 months.

 

Im sure they will be fine, the guys on e46 forums have been running the apexcone/ddm stuff for a while.

If they break, meh, $40 & 30 mins down the drain...

 

my old mazda6 wagon has been using the 55watt hid version of the apexcone for 2-3 years now ... still working fine, massive improvement compared to the halogen (i did long 5 hr drives from lubbock to dfw)

...then again my el cheapo ones i put in the fog lights not caring are to lol

edit:
also they weren't cheap that long ago ^_^

 

I've had $100 Ebay HIDs for about a year...work perfectly. You really dont always have to pay top dollar to mean its good.
