I think a lot of people on this site use DDM tunning (DDM Tuning: HID and LED Lighting), as using deep blue I used to have 12000k and they were a real deep blue. As installing them is really easy, it takes like maybe 20 minutes, and for the fog lights, when you remove your headlights you can get right to the fog lights. If you need some pictures for both I can do it for you.

I'll ask for pictures when it comes time for install and we're the deep blue good for high beams? Also about how much would it cost for high/low/fog lights? Thanks for the reply btw

It's an old image, but the lights are the same.

8,000k HID lights, aftermarket fogs.

Install is pretty easy.

Just follow that diagram, and find a spot to mount the ballasts.

I didn't have that square block beneath the ballast though. Mine was all inside the thin ballast they give you now.

When I had deep blue they were on my low beams, I keep a halogen in my high beams because I was told flicking hid ballast off and on was bad and can hurt the ballast plus with hids i never even need to put on my high beams.

DDM tuning for sure. Had mine about a year. I have 6000k have a video on YouTube driving with them. I was gunna go 8000k but the 6000k give it more of a crystal blue look and it's the best in my opinion and by far the brightest intensity I think

I'v had mine for probably about 3, 3 1/2 years now and they're still going. I had to replace the ballasts because it wouldnt turn on when I first got them and IntenseHID was very good with that swap out.

Your welcome
