Default Well the DDM HID kits are no longer available..

Monkeyed around with my bike all day and i finally learned that somehow both headlight bulbs burnt out at the same time, instead of spending $60 bucks on 2 sylvania ultras i was going to buy the ddm kit finally but its no longer on their website at all.

Very disappointed in my timing.. ive wanted the ddm kit for months now.

Im sure another company is already selling or about to start selling some slim ballast kits from the same Chinese supplier. They are all from overseas and about the best you can do is pick a kit that has a decent reputation, low price, and a decent warranty.

I'm in the same boat. I've been putting it off for months.
They're not selling the slim ballasts anymore, but at least they're still selling their Raptor kit. Sure it won't be as easy to find a place to mount but still doable.

Nah.. prolly the regulatory on automotive/motorcycle lighting got to them and shut them down. NHTSA is strict on that and will report any company they find that are selling any HID kit that are imported to the US

bringing this one back... is there another reputable place known that sells the same kind of kit with the slimline ballasts for around that same price point?

I saw that.. although the group buy seems like a great deal for some, I was told that I am not able to buy the kit with a single projector, ballast and bulb... my F4 is a cyclops.. so half the kit would be a waste. add to that the price point that kit is in even with the discount is way more than the old ddm kit...

I actually have a retrosolutions 9007 car kit sitting in the box next to me.. I have to get around to sending the harness back for repair since it went bad...
