New HIDs, Parking Lights, Underbody Lights
Hi all,
Thought i'd share my most recent projects/adventures.
I'm including pictures of the old (Halogen) lights in my car as well.
Installed are 55W 6000K HIDs (both in high beams & low beams) from DDMtuning.com.
Underbody lights are the same as my 'parking lights'. All are 6 LED 194 Wedge Bulbs in Ultraviolet light. My interior map lights are 9 LED 194 Wedge Bulbs, and I've added an LED strip light also in Ultraviolet light to the back cargo area, pretty much right on the other side of the license plate.
More pics to come.. (mostly interior pics)

Erich... Please let us know how the HIDs work out for you... I am in need of buying some new HIDs, but I am unsure as where to try next.. (ive gone thru 3 different brands now... YIKES!) maybe HIDSRUS? HIDEXTRA? who knows.
DDM Tuning, also known as apexcone, had a few lawsuit problems in the past including marketing 4 bulbs as 12 different bulbs and not accepting any fault products, but I am curious to know if they have gotten their act together. They look great in the pictures

They parking lights are easy IF you have 45 degree needle nose pliers. Without it's quite difficult.
Basically to install them just pop the hood and look at your headlight from the front. In the top corner of your light you can see the little bulbs for the parking lights. Look on the other side of the headlight (inside the hood) and find them. (Little grey piece with tabs on it). Take the pliers and grab the grey piece and rotate them counter-clockwise. They're twist locks and rotate about 90 degrees. Once you get them out simply pull the bulb out and put the new one in. They are the 194 style wedge bulbs (same as map lights). I tried to fit the 9LED wedge bulb in there, but only a 6 LED will fit. I used the 9 LED headlights for my map lights instead.
Lemme know if you have more questions.
Regards & good luck,
Eric Henderson

Other than that the other two are 100% perfect. Really bright, but not so much that other people flash their brights at me or anything.
I would recommend them.

I haven't had a chance to have DDM test the ballasts, so hopefully they're honest and give me a new one. I was planning on buying an additional kit anyway (only $50.. who cares), to have as a spare in case it happens again.
Re: New HIDs, Parking Lights, Underbody Lights
Wow after reading the issues you're having with DDM I might rethink ordering from them. To have to take out a ballast to send to them (in my case not being local) would be a huge inconvenience. What would you do? Drive around with no headlight?

So I have 2 working low beams, and 1 working high beam currently.
If you only ordered one kit, I guess you would be S.O.L. haha
Re: New HIDs, Parking Lights, Underbody Lights
Looks good. I hope you used a relay kit for the 55w ballasts. The factory wiring will not hold up long to that high of current. I have used DDM kits in 4 of my cars now and have yet to have an issue. As stated above, they do stand behind their products and usually you dont have an issue with warranty exchanges.

Hi... Recently I replaced all my car interior and exterior lights with the LED lighting bulbs because they are gives bright light and have many uses. I bought all the LED bulbs from the ecolight with the affordable price which are very good working.

Did anyone use the code eliminator? or anyone that didn't have any problems?
