03 Taho HID help..

[bkboatnsleds]

Can someone dumb it down for me?

LoL I read good things about DDM's products.. Whats better DDM or HIDGuy.net.

And either way what would I need to do High Lows and Fogs on a 2003 Tahoe.

Would this be correct?

3 Kits total?

Low Beam 9006
High Beam 9005
Fog 880

So I need HID Harness or an Error eliminator? for any or all of the kits?

THanks for the help!!

IMHO, get the relay no matter where you buy, and get fogs and lows, chances are you'll never use the highs honestly. On back road trips, I use fogs and lows, MORE than enough.

From what I have read DDMs kits are good. Some people have had some issues but their customer service will take care of you. I have DDM HIDs in all my lights except the highs. The highs have a cheap eBay kit that I will soon be replacing with a DDM kit.

You will not need the error eliminator, but I recommend the wire harness for your lows.

HID highs are nice because they are super bright but keep in mind that HIDs take some time to get to their full brightness so when you switch on your highs it will get darker at first, not brighter. If you are going to do your highs I would recommend also doing the 4-high mod.

I recommend some OEM Matsushitas or Osrams, what I have experience with, and love them and they are meant to last. I like to use the factory stuff personally. Sounds like alot of people like the DDM kits tho. LIke everyone else, get the relay harness, or do it yourself with 40amp relay, fuses, and wire. Just picked up a set of OEM Osrams ballast from an 08 escalade, locally for $20 at a junk yard, for my highs. IDK why, don't use them much, but might as well.

I know why....because you can't say no to $20 OEM ballasts. That's outrageously low-priced. I'd have gotten them too, even though I currently have an extra set of Matsushita's already...lol.

But you know what's up DenaliAK, I know you run OEM Matsushitas!!! And I paid crazy prices for my other two Matsushita sets!!! So who could pass up on that price!

The error code eliminators are for BMW's i believe. You don't really need relays for the kits unless your run the 55w kits. 35w you'll be fine but its personal choice. I have DDM in my lows and fogs for a year so far no issues. I'd go with them over ebay kits, lifetime warranty through ddm and the price is great.

 

[WHITEOUT]

In most cases, you won't need a relay. But personally, and that's just from experience I have with HID's. I would always run a relay, just for the protection it gives and why not. Cheaper then a new ballast!!

I have been doing a lot of research through and through the tahoeyukonforum and I can not find the answer to my question regarding HID's in the Fogs. And since WHITEOUT and DenaliAK in my opinion have a lot of knowledge with HID's then I will ask a question.

I have just upgraded my HID Lows from the 35W Ballast to the DDM 55W and am going to use the 35W for my fogs. I order the 880 HID bulb from DDM and attempted the install. Here is my problem--it seems that the 880 HID bulb is too long for the fog light housing. How do I over come this problem?? I have heard of a spacer, but i can seem to find a pic anywhere and I have also PMed other forum members and they so far have not come across this problem b/c there 880 HID bulbs fit perfectly fine.

Any help is greatly appreciated...I was kinda looking forward to installing the HID fogs over the Thanksgiving holiday.
