i just got my ddm hid setup and love it

 

You have foglights - turn them on with the headlights. Fogs are halogen so you'll know the difference if you have HID headlights. Look at my sig pic - that's the kind of difference you'll see.

 

Cool, thanks!

I like the smoked headlight look, so I may get those casings and a xenon kit down the road. First, though, it's timing belt change + diagnostic, then chip + DV, then radar/laser protection. Headlights come later =D

 

+1 DDM is great kit. I was able to install mine with out cutting a hole in the back cover. I was able to fit my ballasts inside the headlight housing.

 

yeah same here... slim ballast DDM's is the way to go

 

Which DDM kit do you get? I can't find one on their site that says it's for audi. Do you need to get HID housings along with the kit, or does the kit include the proper housing?

 

+1 DDM

Spector get slim ballasts those would be east to mount... Also IMO dont go past 6000k in bulb temperature. I think 6000k is ideal for the road at night. Everything else looks too blue...

 

Good call, I like the white. Would those work with smoked headlight housings though? I'm going to focus on "stealthing" my car (I got a speeding ticket a few weeks ago and I'm sick of em) so I want very dark headlight casings, which I'll coat with VEIL paint to increase absorption.

I'm looking at these: http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B6_A4-...ghts/ES261518/

Would the DDM kit work with those?

In the meantime, would the DDM kit and HID lights require drilling of my current setup?

 

It should work with those headlights. It is recommended to use projector headlights with HID's due to the cut-off point so you won't blind the on-coming traffic.

If you do get the slim kit with tiny ballast and you're able to fit it inside the housings, then drilling will not be necessary. Drilling is usually required when you put your ballast outside the housings in which you will have to run the cable through (which might required drilling).

Also as a side note, 4300K is the stock color HID's. This is known to give out the best light output. So the closer you are to 4300K, the better the light output.

 

true but a lot of people wanna go 8, 10, 12 or even 15k.. i like 8000k just cuz its still whit but has a blueish tint to it, just seems more crisp, like ice or something... but once u get 10000k and above its gets too blue and then purple... and another great law in cali... anything above 8000k is illegal lol
