I'm getting ready to order some HID's soon, and heard people talking about that DDM were the best ones to get, but I don't know what kind of bulbs I need.. I need to know the bulbs for the Low Beams and Fogs because I plan to get those soon..
Thanks!

www.hidextra.com can hook you up.... I'm satisfied...Just look up your truck on the site.
DDMtuning.com is best for the price range IMO. You don't need to get slim ballasts, but that is what I have... although their Raptor kit is just as good. I'm guessing it's for an 04 GMC since your sig, in that case you'll need a set of 9006's for the low beams and a pair of H10's (9145) for the fogs. Rule of thumb is the lower you go in K temp rating, the better the light output (best is ~4500/5000k) and the more yellow they get, the higher you go the more blueish/purpleish they get. Most people get 6000/8000k's. I'd run a 35 watt kit to be safe, there has been problems with 55 watt bulbs overheating fog light housings in the past.

I was thinking about getting the 55 watt, but guess I'll take the 35 then.. I was looking at getting the Diamond White ones which are 6000k or 5000k I think.. I'm most likely gonna get the Raptor package as it doesn't really matter how big/small the ballast is I have a lot of engine space..

DDM has some of best bang for the buck. But they have been known to be very slow shipping sometimes up to 2 weeks for delivery. I run the 55w 10k and even with smoked lights I see very well. One set is over 2 yrs old and work flawless
Slowest in Oklahoma...
Thanks for the help guys! I'll definitely be ordering from DDMTuning, but I'm not worried about the shipping time as long as they get here, my lights are still working, haha..
Also, what if I ran 55 in just my headlights? Have there been any problems?

No problems there, it's just hard to match 55w bulbs in headlights with 35w bulbs in fogs as far as color. You'd have to run ~6,000k 55w bulbs in the lows and ~5000k in the fogs. Color washes out in 55w vs 35w.

Alright, I read something about color changing through watts..
So I've decided to run red on bottom and purple on top!
j/k
Seriously though, what else would I need except the basic stuff... Do I need the HID Harness/Error Code Eliminator/Adapter Cables/Mounting brackets?

The higher 55w looses some of the blue cast compared to the same "K" rating of a 35w....but are much brighter..
