I ran VVME on my B5 as well. I ordered two kits with plans of putting in HID fogs, but two of the ballasts I received didn't work! The ones that did work were great, but you are taking a certain risk when you buy such cheap HID kits. VVME is also notorious for a lack of customer support.

Interesting there is still a link saying "Apexcone Raptor HID Kit @ $30.00" at the bottom of ddmtuning.com but it says item not found when you click it...
since they are still advertising I hope the kits return soon.
I just haven't gotten any yet 'cause I need new headlight housing...
got that fogging going on...

That is true ... I order a relay harness once ... they didn't send me the right part so I took picture of what I received compared to what I ordered ( they send me the bulb connecting cable ) but they just kept telling me those cable were the relay harness ... even if I send picture of the part out of there own web site ... bounch of as*hole ... they refuse to gave me my money back or to send me the right part ... so I end up ordering the relay harness from ddm ... all of that for a 15$ part so I'll be careful before ordering some more expensive part from them ... go ddm instead ..

Well now you guys have scared me away from vwme, I'm gonna try and contact ddm tuning and see if they plan to keep selling those kits.

i have read somewhere that ddm was moving their stores or something and that some items might not show up on their website, but still are available. just contact them and ask if they still have the raptor kits.

DDM tuning just got the raptors back in stock but now they are v2, still costing 30$. They also have a ddm slim ballast kit for 40$, fully digital, whatever that means. Should I get the raptor for 30 or this slim digital for 40?

Raptor v2

DDM Slim

Which one?!
