Optix Slim HID Kit
Has anyone used these before? I like the idea of plug and play but the cheap price is a bit concerning.

Only issue I've had with ddm is their shipping generally costs us canucks almost double what the purchase price is... unless you get some sort of sale... my first pair.i ordered from them was almost $100 by the time they arrived to my door... last set was $48... it's hit and miss on their shipping charges...

not really. get the DDM slim kit. 35w is best imo. for your low beams and do no higher then 8000k. best light visibility do like 4500k.... 6k is pretty good. i have 8000k and i love it. any higher like 10k or 12k has horrible light. its more for show then for using for driving.

Look up on import Atlanta for Dynamic Sound. It's a local shop where I'm from and their prices are hard to beat for what you can get. They do ship USPS and kits start at $35. I have been a veteran customer from the start 6 years ago. Also with them you can buy separate things like ballasts or bulbs. They sell LED light bars LED bulbs for dash and such as well as shadow lights. I know they have 15 watt reverse lights. HID's 35watt, 55watt, 75watt, and 100watt kits but catch them on a Monday cause on Friday they are always low on stock lol. The sell to majority to car lots and shops. Sorry if it seems lie I'm spamming just another HID place I'll stand behind 100% :-)

IDK if you bought the lights yet, but if you don't want to wait 2 weeks or more for DDM Tuning to send you the lights all the way from china, you could buy a set of VVME HID lights on ebay. VVME is one of the few tried and tested brands that they sell on there. Everything else, the ballasts are junk and will not last you more than a year. The only thing with VVME kits is that they're not slim, but it really doesn't matter. They give you a bracket so you can mount the ballasts... just mount them on the side of the header panel.
I have a DDM kit on my Cutlass and a VVME on my Camaro... both work fine, but the DDM one didn't come with a mounting kit.

Kinky, the DDM kits usually take 2 weeks to ship. They come from china... at least mine did. I have them in my Cutlass.
