Headlight bulbs
 
My 954's low beam lights blow to be honest, they blow enough that i feel I cant see far enough on a pitch black night to be safe. The high beams are ok though. Do any of you guys know of a better bulb to go to for all three bulbs (which would increase low beam light), without switching to hids. I would cruise around with high beams on all the time but get flashed when I do.

And if I did go to hid's would i need three kits one for each bulb?

If you went with HID's you would need a dual + a single kit if you wanted all of your lights changed.

Honestly it is the best bang for your buck www.ddmtuning.com

So I would have a ballast and bulb for each or does a dual kit run off of one ballast. Wear did you put your ballasts to is their stick tape or something?

I wouldnt buy from DDM. I have a DDM kit and a Xentec kit. Xentec was a little less expensive and shipped extremely quick. Same quality. I actually have more hours on the Xentec than DDM. The DDM took about 2 weeks compared to 3 days for the Xentec. The price it would cost for a set of 3 DDM would cost plenty more than ordering 4 Xentec bulb sets. They all have their own ballast. Mine are mounted under the intake covers. I used velcro strips to secure it.

Order 2 like that, sell one of the bulbs with ballast and make some money back. The single kit from DDM cost me 50 compared to 30 for 2.

But Xantec kits come with a 1 year warranty and questionable customer service. DDM tuning kits come with a lifetime warranty and good customer service. A very nice system on their web site for technical support. The lifetime warranty is very helpful if you get 55watt kits from them (vs 35w) because the bulbs run hotter and need to be replaced more often.
