Imagine how easy I have it when they find out I'm a photographer and work with tv... Man even the ugly ones track the flash down and stalk me. Girls will do unholy things for a photo.
Seriously though... I'm the best wingman. I'm a chubby asian guy with a wedding band (I have to wear it at clubs to keep girls away). Nothing says harmless and unassuming quite like it. Girls don't know what hit em.
But ya... walking up to a girl and saying "I'm the milkman" is not easy to top...

thats when i lean in real close to their ear and hold their shoulder with my free hand ( cuz the other one is holding a alcoholic beverage) and say it again. IT WORKED 95% OF THE TIME EVERY TIME LOL
so if the good quality HID bulbs are about 150 each, what kind of bulbs do the DDM kits use, because the entire DDM conversion kit is only like 30 bux, and that comes with two bulbs and from what i've seen they replace bulbs that burn out for people for free... those must be real crap bulbs huh? no wonder they'll melt at 55 watt

the ddm bulbs are pretty bad. i just replaced the ddm bulbs for two morimoto ones and the output was improved quite a bit. But for the price of those ballasts, i dont think you can really go wrong. just pick up a set of better bulbs.

Update on my scenario...spoke with HIDextra.com, they sent me their warranty information, so I just have to send them a pic of the defective bulb and they will send me a replacement in the mail. She mentioned that they might have had a run of defective bulbs.

my cousins 55w system melted the bulb in standard reflector. and i had one bad bulb with a 35w system in a custom projector retrofit.
When i did replace the bulbs with the morimoto bulbs, my output did improve quite a bit.

I can get D2s bulbs that are Japanese made for like half of that 160$ price. AND they're warrantied.
Safest bet, get 35w.
Oh, and Milkman, you should see what happens when the girls get starstruck. My friends are a-holes and always expose me for being a hollywood ***** (not the kind Karo prefers).. LMAO
I'm not bsing either. For that I provide Exhibit A

You never know. Sometimes Mercedes throws a curve ball at you. In my coupe, my turn signals were some awkward German 1156 bulbs.
Oh and Mav.. It's for her clothing line. Leggings and such. And Yes. Yes I do.
