Cool

Do your lights come with a warranty??? And does anyone have these lights yet bedsides the company owner??? Post pics and reviews!!!
Also has anyone ever used the kits by DDM Tuning?? They make HID set ups with lifetime warranty on ballast???

I'm not vouching for anyone yet, but DDM's kit is not a retrofit therefore it's blinding to other drivers. With a HID light you need to control the scatter of the light emitted. If you simply convert the bulb over to HID, sure you will be able to see better, but others coming at you will be blinded by the scattered light.

just wanted to compare apples and apples...I really like the FST lights and plan on pulling the trigger on a set either today or tomorrow. My son runs the DDM in his Cummins and Jetta and have lasted very well. I did see on DDM that they offer a lens housing that they say is for their HID kit....but I guess that was my biggest question...if their light performed like the FST's and I also realize with the DDM you can't get the paint options or the angel eye options...But didnt know if someone wanted plain HID upgrade if anyone had tried them. Also saw they offer a 55 watt version and didn't know if that was any advantage???
Just trying to make the best use of my money and best informed decision. everyone on here has always been very helpful in shedding light on quality parts vs. (you know!).....

Even worse, they could get revved-up like a deuce.

just placed an order for a set. It doesn't take many of these dark winter evenings to remind me how horrible the lights are in the XJ.

I ordered mine 10/25 and still waiting but see they were shipped USPS (snail mail) standard shipping. From either coast its takes at least 10 days to 2 weeks for me to get any packages here in MO. shipped that way.

Just want to see someone with them before I order. Kinda makes me uneasy about ordering a set since I haven't seen anyone with them except the owner of the company. I can't get any response if they come with a warranty and I have even tried calling the business phone number and no answer. The owner was posting on here when he wanted to see if anyone wanted any and now hasn't been on here in a month???? A lot of money to get burned on!
Simple questions....anyone else with pics installed and warranty info! I have $200 bucks burning a hole in my pocket and ready to pull the trigger. But since I can't get ahold of anyone or answers to my questions from a "business"...looks like Hellas and CB radio install coming up instead....
