Default DDM getting lazy?

so my HID kit came in and i thought i would be getting a package like sicks
but i got a small white box (that was beat to hell and back) and inside there were three smaller white boxes and two broken pieces of Styrofoam one with both bulbs in it and other boxes with each ballast in them, no padding or protection in the smaller boxes. did i just get screwed or is this how they're shipping there kits now days?

sorry for no pictures i will post them up in the morning.

it looks like sick's came in the same boxes.. Look at top right corner of first picture...

Boxes being beat up is a different story.

Sounds about how mine came - although nothing was beat up.

Was anything broken?

If not - no harm no foul.

Can this kit be used for a 929? Would the install be the same as above?

you need to figure out what bulb type you have and then you can order this kit here. taked about 3-4 weeks to get them in.

Default Neighbor

I asked my neighbor who bought some DDM HID's for his bike (slim ballast) 8K, I believe, and he said his boxes were kind of dented on one corner and some of the packaging wasn't what he expected; but his work great.

I believe the 929 uses the H7 bulbs (95%). I just don't want to have to buy 3 of them.... like a pair and then a single.. I am sure someone on here has a 929 with HID's...

I don't remember how mine came but I think it was just like itlnF4I. Nothing was broke. I thought I had bulb issue few weeks ago. but It turned out there was loose connection. And when I contacted them, they were very helpful
