How much should one cost i'm reading through Stumps thread all about them. Just wondering though, like....i'm seeing some on amazon, yes, i'm an addict. prices seem VERY reasonable $45.....reasonable $100 or so....and then not at all, $350. All the pictures seem to include wiring and ballasts, for both driver/passenger sides. Who has bought aftermarket HID kits and what did you pay. Thanks for the help guys

DDM Tuning is where I got mine and I've had no problems. I have several other friends with them that haven't had problems either.

i got DDM Raptor H13s for my Suprer Duty, the kit was $50(+/-) and thats for the 55w version to, i also got he relay kit for $15, i beleive the 35w ones were $35(+/-), but they could be more now, got mine in march. still taking a beating today. shipping is high tho from DDM, especially to canada, almost the cost of the damn things, shiping US should be much better.

DDM.

Never heard of the error code eliminator. For a truck you dont need the slim ballast either....

error code was part of all the option, right under bulb color and all that. i'd rather just go w/the smaller compact ballast keep it hidden away more so then just the regular size. putting it all on order now!

don`t get the slim ballast, they are not very robust, the raptor kits are a hell of a lot tougher, i originally bought the slims and they lasted a week, raptors have been going strong. no need for the relay kit unless you run into problems with them lighting the od time, i just got it to be safe. 55w are brighter white in kalvin when comparing the same (ex. a 55w 6000k will be more white than a 35w 6000k)

this is for your chevy? what color were you going to get? i recommend 4000-5000k in 55w, i have the 4500k, very white. the more blue the less usefull the light is under dark/wet road conditions, i need that for my work truck as i drive alot in every weather condition. :)

if you want bluer go 6000k, i wouldn`t recommend antyhtin higher then that as they are fairly useless light output. my bro put on 8000k lows and highs in his 08 chevy and he said they don`t light up shit on dark road surfaces, they just looked cool. :D
