Just got my Fogs converted to HID with a DDM tuning slim ballast kit and very happy with the results.

By far this is the easiest job i have ever done on my car. A true plug and play with plenty of space to work on.

No flicker no errors thanks to an error canceler wire.

1-Left HID, RIght Xenon match bulb

2- All changed

3- Night

And i don't blind anyone if you are wondering i lowered them perfectly to the ground just the camera (iPhone) adds a lot of glare to the pic.

If anyone is thinking to do it i say go for it. Very easy...

 

Looks Good! They match your head lights perfectly

 

Colormatched lows and fogs are always hot. Glad you went this route! It looks beautiful

Are your fogs H1? If they are, just a tip: make sure the grounding wire is secured well, or when you're driving over rough terrain you'll get flickering, along with some flickering at startup. Happened to me, was annoying until i decided to fix it lol

 

May I ask how much u paid for that (error canceller included) ? Also is it 8K (temp) ?

Andy

 

Mine is actually H11. I attached the slim ballast along withe the ignitor with some industrial grade Velcro purchase at Staples. Didn't trust the double sticky the HID's came with.

So far no flickering so im guessing its good but ill keep an eye on it


Thanks

 

Hey Andy,

The error canceler came in a package for a previous kit i had ordered for a friend for his Nissan Z. He didnt need it so i kept it. The error canceler is not like the ones you see for sale ( with the little box) its a capacitor and its wired to plug and play with the Hid wiring.
I can take a picture of it later on and show you.

And yes they are 8000K just like my headlights.

 

Believe it or not i got the inspiration from your pic

 

i would say hidextra is about 60 a set
i think ddm may be cheaper but the error cancelors might be extra? cocrrect me if i am wrong. i have hid extra 8000k hi's low's and 3000k fogs.

and your color matched set was great. did you ddm package come with a mounting brackcet? and where did you velcro it too?

 

I ordered my HID with DDMtuning they take 4ever to ship but good product indeed. They didnt come with mounting brackets and the reason for that is that the ballast are very slim and very lightweight.

I velcro them on the side of the fenders. I will take some pictures tomorrow so you guys can see it.

So hmm 8000K + 3000K = Green ground effect? Am i right?

 

Fixed and ur correct lol.

Andy

 

Let me clarify, so you need error canceler for the low beam and not for the fog? Low beam and fogs are using H11, right? I'm planning to do mine too.

 

HIDextra sends you the error canceler for free. Just let them know you need it.

 

I just receive mine :

How did you install your kit? Did you remove the front bumper?

thanks if you can help me out

 

No, you need error cancelers for BOTH low beams and fogs. I have a 2006 CLK 350 my Low beams use h7 and my fogs H11.
That doesn't mean you car has the same so go to sylvannia.com and look up your replacements bulbs and buy accordingly.

Good luck let me know if you need more help

 

Hey there,
congrats on your purchase. You do not need to remove the bumper.

I lifted my car up ( just like you would to change a tire ) and leaned underneath the car. I removed the plastic cover 3-4 pins holding it under the bumper) and than you get a pretty good amount of space to work on your HID's.

Just a heads up though. I was driving on the highway today and that cover im talking a bump went lose and broke into pieces. Cost $52 for an new one just ordered it. Make sure you put it back on tight and save yourself some money and embarrassment on the road lol.

 

$52?? Where did you get it from? This has happened to almost all of us. The fender liner is $23 from parts.com

 

Whaaaaat ??? F*** dealer did it again. Too late now i guess i already paid for it. O well ill keep that in mind if it happens with the other side lmao

Kinnda mad though huh

 

You could get all OEM parts from parts.com....No need for the stealer..

 

link to that product if you dont mind please i cant seem to find it?

I will take my madness to Call of Duty now lol

 

Look like it's a bit more expensive for the 350....(http://www.parts.com/oemcatalog/inde...layCatalogid=0)

 

still cheaper than what i paid though!

And that's the exact picture is saw at the stealer!

Thanks man appreciate the info

 

No prob. I just checked the one for the 320 and it's $23. I wonder how much difference there is...When you get your from the dealer post up the part #, I want to see if it's different than the 320.

 

+1

 

yeah its pretty easy to get lazy after the install and put everything back together quickly. i did that the first day i tried doing my fogs. got dark so i decided to put things back in a hurry. next day, when i pulled off the pins, they came off hella easy. i was lucky not to lose any pics or have it come loose. it would be best to take time and put them on.

and i installed the fogs without a lift. it was a tight squeeze but still easy enough.
