They have real HID kits on sale for $39.95 plus shipping. Similar kits retail $200 plus with no warranty. I picked up the slim kit for $55. All there kits come with Life-time warranty as well! These are cheaper then normal Halogen bulbs which have little if no warranty on them and are pretty much gauranteed to burn out!

They also have cheap parts for BMWs as well (bumpers, headlights etc..)

I bought 3 kits. one for my headlights, fogs and hibeams!:)

SIDENOTE: I was informed that these may take a little while to ship due to the high demand...

Here's the problem I have: A significant # of your posts refer to D#M t&!ing (sorry, not going to help your Google results by typing it out)

Also, those posts are all written like ad copy..

There is one thread in which the OP (astus00) asked if there were any Slickdeals on HIDs...seems awfully convenient that another member who joined SD the same day as you (Oct. 27) and who has no other postings would start a thread randomly asking if car headlights are on sale...

http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=982853

Additionally, where TF are you finding halogen bulbs that cost that much? And no, they don't just burn out...I have a 740iL and the bulbs have lasted 8+ years.....and replacement SliverStars can be had for $20 for 2.

But it looks like you really didn't need to bother shilling on SD since you were "informed" that orders would take a while due to "high demand" - I just looked up your web traffic and there is definitely no spike in traffic....

Actually, looks like quite a few BMW message boards are full of complaints that you promise X product at Y price by Z date....but then slowly induce delay after delay which in some cases can be 4 months. To make matters worse, nearly every poster has mentioned the shady practice of being called to authorize an "unexpected" increase in the shipping costs, which doubles them. (BTW, just about every legit slickdeal that people have posted here includes the shipping costs either in the title or the OP)

On the plus side...at least your car doesn't have pre-safe...which = a slightly higher chance that you'll be weeded out of the genepool.

I am pretty sure that the OP has no business with DDM tuning. I am a frequent of www.bimmerforums.com and DDM Tuning is a forum sponsor there as well as many other car forums. I can just tell you that I have about 6 of their HID kits and they work flawlessly. The amount of kits DDM sell is just ridiculous. That is part of the reason why the prices are able to be that low.

why is this in the black friday section?

They recently started using the ebay cashback. Jim from DDM has been putting auctions up that qualifies. Jim had also dropped the prices for black friday.

wow you did a lot of research. I have been a lurker on SD's for a couple years now and generally browse the front page and hot deals section for car part deals. Sorry if my post offended you. I have not posted much on here and yes I have posted in another thread regarding HID's I recently bought these from them and was very impressed by their price and just thought I would share. I bought from the same guys years ago and paid a lot more and thought their recent price drops were worthy of a post. Just like the other guys have pointed out I found them through a Bmw forum.

Just figured Sd'ers would like the deals on of us BMW guys have been getting. ;) I haven't found a better deal on HID's.

It is a great deal and SD should know about it. SD has a huge mix of everything and Im sure there will be more than 1 or 2 people who finds this deal to be slick.

hid retrofit kits are illegal, end of story.

Actually sorry to pwn you..Retrofit=Legal..
Plug and Play= Illegal;

Buut if you have H4 bulbs and use caspershields its fine
There are a couple of cars where you can use a plug and play kit and not glare everyone
Certain ones off the top of my head include:
Most cars with Projectors from the factory(just be sure to have a 5000k or under) aim them slightly down
-IS250/350-the new ones work reasonably well with a Pnp Kit
Also the Facelift TC with the oem projectors
and also the Toyota Celica with projectors

Vehicles with reflector headlamps that work perfectly include:
Toyota Tacoma (05+ body)
the New Civic
The New Accord
And the PreFacelift TC


If you want to run a perfect setup without glare just pick up a set of projectors from ebay
and get a PnP Hid Kit
:)

True. As long as you have projectors that stops the light from blinding others, you will not have a problem at all.

These kits will basically work with any car. You just have to find out what fitment your headlights take for the lowbeam bulb. You can do that by taking out the bulb or going to autozone asking to replace your bulb. They will look it up. Its most likely on the internet as well. After you find the fitment you can decide on what temperature or Kelvin you want.

The problem is people don't do retrofits. If people are on here are asking about the fitment for their car do you really think they'll do the research to do a proper retrofit? No one bothers to do it properly so this "deal" just adds to the number of people out there with glaring HID lights.

HID doesn't count without the HID projector. These are not going to be DOT legal nor give you HID benefit.

HIDs in a non-projector headlight housing will still produce more lumens then regular light bulbs or silverstars etc. Its the HID kit that makes the light, not the projector.

first of all, I just wanted to clarify that me joining SD and posting similar post was purely coincidental. Second, I've been looking for an HID kit for a while now and I just thought there might be some deals for black friday which is the original reason why I posted under black friday.
And as far as price and quality, after some thorough review on numerous HID kits out there including on ebay, I have to agree and say that these ones have the best quality along with the best price. I just need to wait till it gets warm to get them so that I can do a proper installation instead of half @$$ job because Im freezing my fingers off. lol
and yes, anyone who installs these should definitely adjust their beam lower whether you have a projector or not.

if anybody buys, please buy 5000k or less, anything above is just blue and is really not as functional, though it may look "cooler". 4300k ftw imo. in for a set for my g/f's corolla. i know you get what you pay for, but w/the lifetime warranty, it's worth a try.

4300k is the only USDOT legal color you can purchase 4500k if you are in europe (I dont know which parts thats just whats understood from this side of the pond)

I bought 6000K and they look great and are brighter than my old bulbs.

By the way, these will work on all cars, as long as they have the plug-and-play for your socket.

To check the kind of bulb your car uses, go to http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/LampReplacementGuide/

My buddy purchased a kit like that, but he went to 6,000k and they look "aftermarket blue" like you WANT people to know you purchased them. If you like nice clean work like I do go for 4,300k, after all that is the OEM for any car with factory HID.
