dam lol...

ok so im probably gonna order the DDM 35w 4500k kit unless any1 in the next 12 hours advises me differently!

please let me know ur opinions! would the AZNOptics 5000k be better than the 4500k DDM? which looks more OEM (bi-xenon oem)?

4300k than 5000k is looks more OEM on the markets.
but 4300k, 5000k, 6000K are normal used.

save your money and dont buy them cheap 35 wat kits .. i went through 5 diff kits on my w210 before i ponied up and bought a 55 watt kit .. Trust me you will loving it after you flick the switch .. 35 wats only get you about 3500 lumens 55 wat kit jumps into the 4000+ lumens burns a hell of a lot whiter then 35 wat kits. I got a set of 55 watt kit for $50 brand new shipped shyt they still charging that much for 35 watt kits

I wouldn't say 35w kits are cheap. 55w will burn brighter, but there is a trade off in running the risk of melting your housing cause they burn hot. There's no way I'd suggest using 55W in your fogs for instance or certain headlight configuration. Some headlights will be fine as it's open enough and the bulb is far enough from anything plastic. So it's up to the buyer to decide what they want....safety or performance. We manufactured 55w kits before but decided to just carry 35w kits because we didn't want our customers to come complain to us that their housing unit was reduced to a warped melted slab of plastic.

Sunlight is approx 5500 Kelvin on a bright clear day. Do not exceed this or you move to the blue end of the spectrum where the human eye is less sensitive so you loose effective lighting.
