I assume by the price and the photo that these are roughly equivalent to DDM Tuning kits, yes?

By chance do you offer 55W kits, and do you have the option to order different color temperatures?

Out of curiosity, what makes these kits superior to DDM's offerings?

Any options for high/low systems?

Using HIDs in your highbeams is not smart. They take a little while to "charge up" and get to their fullest brightness whereas halogens do not. I stupidly put HIDs on my motorcycle in my high and low and whenever I click the highbeams on I doesn't even get brighter for a solid 5-10 seconds. Could be pretty dangerous and you would never be able to flash your high beams at anyone because they wouldn't notice.

^ A very good point. I had HID driving lamps on my old truck (Hella 500s converted to 5000k @ 55w with DDM kits) and the turn-on delay was significant. I recall about 2-3 seconds before they could be considered truly "ON" and 8-10 before they reached full brightness. Although once they were all the way lit, Jesus Christ, they were something else.

Lots of high/low HID kits these days, however, don't use a separate bulb, they use a small servo or electromagnet to either move the bulb in the housing or move a reflector around the bulb, in order to change how the light is cast. With that sort of a system, there is obviously no turn-on delay for the high beam, and the ones I've seen are pretty stinking quick so that it's not a slow transition from low to high and vice versa.

the ballast is of better construction, that is just a matter of opinion to me however. they generally feel more quality i think. my ddm ballasts lasted about 4 months, I've had these ballasts in my car now for over a year no issues. granted i could've just gotten a bad batch.

at this time i do not offer a high/low kit, just the single beam 35 or 55 watt kits.

i do agree with both of these statements, i myself have never has high beam HID's although i have seen some higher end brands and systems doing a very good job at making a high beam that has little to no "charge" time
