Default DDM HID Kit, anything else needed?

I couldn't find anything answering my question when I searched, sooo do I ONLY need this kit? No adapters or anything? I've got Depo 2-piece projectors.

Nope, nothing at all. Just make sure you get the right light bulb type. Under light bulb type there should be a link where you enter your type of car and it will tell you the bulb type for every single light on your car.

As long as they are H7 that's all you will need. The adapters are built into the bulbs.

I just ordered the exact set myself today. Does anyone have any opinions on them; quality, look, etc? I ordered the 55w 5000k set for my low beam headlights.

Had mine in since after I started this thread. No issues really except I get a "bulb out" warning on my dash when they're on

I was under the impression the ddm slim kits didn't have the bulb out warning.

I'm about to buy a kit myself, where did you mount the ballast and did you drill a hole into the plastic cover to feed the wires out like most diy's say to do or did you do it differently?

I never had a bulb out warning in the 2 years I ran the kit. Used 55w 5000k slim kit. I mounted my ballasts inside the headlight as per a DIY I found on this site. I didn't have auto leveling lamps so they never go tin the way. i believe the stock 1 piece lamp have a spot on the under side of the housing for a ballast that you could use too.

I don't have the slim kit. I have the 35w 6000k kit. That's my problem

Do you get the bulb out warning with the full size Raptor kit? If so, I may have to order a set of the slim ones and get 35w for the low beams. I could put the 55w set in the high beam side.
