Im thinking about going with one of the DDM kits. Anyone have any further recommendations before i take the plunge. Ive been wanting HIDs for a long time but ive been kind of iffy about these ebay kits. At the same time i dont want to get ripped of by another vendor selling the same thing repackaged for profit. Im just trying to find the bets balance of cost and performance. This is basically what id be getting:
