I would HIGHLY recommend NOT purchasing Apexcone/ DDM Tuning HID kits. Yes, they are cheap. Yes, they have a lifetime warranty - thank goodness because you will need to use it. I have one of their kits in my fogs along with the anti-flicker units and the heavy duty wiring harness, and I am still having to replace a ballast every 4-6 months which is a pain.

I had a second kit that I just put on my new Jeep GC and I have to usually hit the switch twice to get both of the fogs to ignite. I spent a little more money on a Xenon Depot kit that many people have used and have been happy with - still haven't installed it yet.

I have the DDM Tuning kit and I have problems with moisture/corrosion at the connectors. I think I'm going to have to patch wires so that their long enough to allow mounting the ballasts up higher.

I think others have used the kits from HIDNY with success. Might want to look at those.
