I got the DDM 6k kit, in case anyone was curious.
My mom had the camera, so I couldn't take pictures while I installed, or of anything, but it's not like there was anything interesting to take pictures of anyways. The bulbs came in a plain box inside a bigger plain box. Exciting huh? Install just required me to removed my battery cover, my battery intake, and my fuse box cover, also nothing exciting.
Since there's no pictures, I'll keep installation details brief. When I was reading up on installing, everyone complained about the "bitch clip" that is supposed to secure the bulb in place, and the lack of space inside the engine bay to move around. Some people spent hours on the install just because of the so called "bitch clip" (I think the real name for it is "retention clip", whatever.) For that reason, many people have come up with very creative ways of reattaching that clip, ranging from the obvious way of removing the headlamp from the car (which requires removal of the front bumper) to the creative way of using various different wrenches or push in different directions and stuff.
Since I was lazy and didn't want to remove the bumper, and I didn't want to look around for wrenches since it took me like 20 minutes just to find a screwdriver, I decided to just install it onto the car with everything in the car (make sense?). That clip seriously only took about 2 minutes the first time to figure out how it worked, then another minute to unlatch it. Then another 2 minutes to reattach it with the new bulb inside. Not too sure how people could spend hours on that clip with the headlamp out of the car. Everything else was even easier, except I just mounted my ballasts whereever, people recommended mounting them under the headlamp, but that's especially hard with the bumper still on the car. So my wires are kinda messy, but they're not in the way of anything, so it doesn't matter.
Since I installed them during the daytime, I couldn't see if they were aligned correctly, or judge how bright they were. The first person that needed to go out at night was my dad, so he got to be the guinea pig, in case something went wrong. He had to go pick up my mom. So when they got back I got both their opinions.
Dad said, "Good, they're very bright. OK. Hope they'll help you see farther at night." They are bright. When they came back, I was trying to figure out if there was any glare produced, and I went a bit too far down, and now I still see a squarish circle in my left eye every time I blink.
Mom thought the high beams were on. She thought the cut off was way too high and it would glare incoming drivers. She thinks it's ridiculous how people would spent money on lights. So I took the car for a spin around darker areas and some cars to see if there would be glare or if the cut off was too high. The beam is actually leveled perfectly. It stays parallel to the ground all the way until it hits something. That cut off never gets higher than the opposite cars headlights, and since my car is pretty low, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Though, if I go over speed bumps, or am parked tilting upwards, there's really nothing I can do. Oh, and she said I would get most definitely pulled over, seeing my luck with police, yeah probably maybe in all possibility eventually.
I think the lights are a lot bluer than I expected. I thought they would be very white with a slight tint of light purple/blue, like my LED key chain lights; they're closer to sky blue, which looks nice and all, but it really attracts attention. They make cool marks on the floor, not that it really matters. They look cool when they warm up. I have a pretty fuzzy cut off line, I'll get around to fixing that some other time, maybe during summer. While I'm at that, I'll add that blue flicker BMWs have on their lights.
Pictures! (I took them really quickly when I got to drive around at night, yeah, took a while)
