So for Christmas I am getting myself and my dad HID. I already decided that I am getting 5000k 35W without High/Low for my Driving and Fog lights. Does anyone have anything good or bad about that setup? I just want to make sure I got everything right now ordering.

9007 is the bulb for headlight, corrrect?
and 9145 is fog light, but they dont have 9145. Which bulb do I order for my fog lights?

Also, does anyone know the bulb type for a 2003 F-150 just for the headlights. Gotta get my dad some for Christmas too.

 

I think H8 or H10 is the 9145, if you look on the bulb chart on the DDM site it will tell you.

 

9005 bulb for the fogs. They fit with a but of persuasion.

 

thanks, 9145 is H10. and anyone know where I can find what the bulb is for a 2003 F150?

 

nvm, its also on their site and is also a 9007. thanks guys.

 

Are you just putting HID bulbs in the stock housings?

 

Yes he most likely is.

 

lame

 

Lame? I don't think he would have time to properly retro a projector into his dads f150 headlights, besides that would cost a lot of money and the gay projector/halos are a waste of money. If the headlights are aimed correct there is a minimal amount of glare coming from the hid in a reflector headlight.

 

^^^Yup. They will work well and looks good especially since they won't be purple or green.

 

yup, im just trying to get more light without spending a lot of money. The lights on the F-150 are currently so dim that when your in the middle of the desert they barely help.

 

Did you order yours yet? I ordered mine last night, hopefully they will be better then the ebay junks I had last year. From what other members say nothing but good things about DDM. I went with the hi/low 35w 6k. I probably won't ever use the high beams since the low beams light up the road just fine.

 

Key word...

 

I ordered them today. I went hi/low 35w for my dad, and just regular for me. Because if I need high beams ill just turn on my 150w Long Range KCs. But i went with 5k.

and i know there are the HID haters out there, and i understand all that. this thread was just to ppl who know about the DDM HIDs

 

Sorry, not trying to be an HID hater, but if you are going to do something, might as well do it right.

 

Who the hell is "Yamanube" ???

 

expect them really fast since your in cali like me i had mine the day after they reopened from the holidays DDM is awsome i just got done installing mine 55w hi/low 6k's cant wait to test them out tonight at work

 

Not the guy blinding everybody with his HID lights

 

Don't get me wrong I would love to do a projector retrofit in my headlights and maybe I will someday but for now I would rather spend my money somewhere else on my truck. I took the time and aimed my headlights so they dont shine or glare to far above the mirror line of a standard sedan. I had my gf drive my truck by me while i was in her little civic sedan and i didn't feel like it was an overpowering glare or didn't have to turn my head away. I know for a fact half of the people in my area that put hids in their headlights don't adjust them and it blinds the hell out of you.

 

^^ BTW: The only reason his headlight has that bad of glare and pattern is because the lens isn't clear like the 2001+ model Rangers. That has a scatter partern headlight most comnly found on 95 and older Cars and Trucks.

And where are you getting these photo's from? A honda civic website? Ranger HID PICS

Please don't try to preach to us about the effects of HID in non projector housing, We all have found a way to make them less "glare" then others.

 

Glare less by pointing them straight down at the ground?

 

I don't see much glare in that pic. Compared to the crappy civic you posted. Listen we could have this argument all day. I have tested and found that my setup does not glare as bad and works for me.

End of thread jack.

 

how much do i move the adjustment down?

 

My head lights are not pointed straight down, nice try though!!

 

is that your truck lol, he said they were adjusted down but i guess lowering it does the same trick
