5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
I've been crazy worried about ordering from DDM now. After reading reviews here and on HIDplanet, DDM is beginning to worry me a lot! I've even seen documentation from their warehouse of how they only carry 4 colour temperature bulbs yet claim they have several - hence why people here complain their bulbs aren't the colour they wanted. I also hate their customer service, they're a bunch of idiots on that end and barely give you the time of day...pricks.
Anyhow, I don't want to pay through the ass because we all know HID's aren't manufactured at a ton of money per unit so I need some good deals here. I need something that has great light output quality equipped with sturdy ballasts and long-lasting bulbs. Anyone got some recommendations?
nicely built kit,free harness, 5 years warranty, can't beat it.
and 5K and 6K lightbulbs were different...
ballast are wether sealed, good wiring.
used bulbs for two weeks only, still got them, can sell you if you need them.

Try mod-express, they use to sell on this forum a few years back ...
I remember buying a kit back then for $200 LOL fml ... That sounds bad but the xenondepot kits were about $400.
Had my mod-express kit for 2+ years now. Working perfectly fine. Bulbs actually matched in colour, ballasts are still going good. A bit more $$ than DDM though.
Im not sure about their quality NOW it does seem like they cheaped out a bit .. but who knows. Not sure if Rob is still the owner but hes a REALLY good guy, ordered a 2nd kit from them, emailed him about a free relay harness and he didnt hesitate and threw one in for me, at the time these harnesses were going for a good $30...
I don't know how downhill DDM has gone, but they at first ignored how my ballasts ignited at different times, and finally, only swapped out a defective ballast when it started to flicker. Turn-around time was quick, though.

^ Yeah ... if you get their products and it works than you got your moneys worth but if it doesnt, for people like me in canada, the return cost of shipping is more than a new kit ...
What sucks is that they kept tinkering with their prices, some times its $35, sometimes its $25, sometimes 39.99, sometimes $30. And now they REALLY jacked their shipping costs. I remember like 3-4 kits would cost 45 to ship to canada, now 1 kit is 40bucks! Thank god I dont need any more HID kits. Cant even make any money reselling them either, made a few sales, pretty good profit making ~$60 a kit, onec they come in the mail i just flip it and get some cash
yeahhh
if DDM is hit or miss, then I dont wanna take the risk
shipping is already expensive for Canada
so if I get a defective product I would have to ship it back and everything
but I doubt there are sites or places that will charge the same price of DDM and ship for less
I like retro solutions kit. I recently ordered the Digital 35w kit with the 10 second time delay relay plus harness. They shipped it fast (i got it in about 4 days) works like a charm. They sell less expensive kits too but I don't know about those.
