I've had my 5000k 35w DDM Tunning Slim HID's (9006 lows, H10 fogs) for a few months now, finally got around to installing them tonight.

The instructions that came with the lights were confusing, so I somewhat followed their online instructions instead.

Plugged the first one in and NOTHING, then I started checking ballasts and bulbs, still nothing. Then read on their troubleshooting site, found the #1 FAQ: Reverse Polarity. My Sierra is one that has the (+) & (-) backwards into the ballast, just switched the clip around and secured it with a zip-tie and BINGO, we have lights!


Ballast mounted right next to the high-beam side of the right headlight (the following 2 pictures were taken before I found out I have reversed polarity, and shows the connector going into the ballast backwards):

Ballast mounted right next to the high-beam side of the left headlight:

Ballast mounted just above right fog light:

All headlights & fog lights installed (gonna get a better picture some other night, just finished my installs just after midnight, but had to post my pics):

Hopefully you live in the boonies, otherwise oncoming traffic will be hating you at night.

Can you get a pic of the light output up against the garage door, wall, side of building, etc?

I have that exact setup, I love how much better I can see. I had to aim my lights down, but I don't ever get flashed by oncoming drivers.

As long as the fogs are off it won't be too bad...

9006 housings handle the PNP method better than any combo unit (high and low beam in the same reflector) can.
