Johnny Utah Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hi everyone, I am taking delivery of my 2013 Ford Edge SEL this week (I hope) and want to upgrade the stock halogens to HIDs. I've done some searches and haven't really been able to find a good answer for which kit is better. If anyone can help out and point me in the right direction that'd be great. I know the DDM Tuning HIDs are less expensive, but are they just as good as the Morimoto kit? Are both kits easy to install? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Johnny, having had experience with both (feel free to review my previous posts), you'll see that TRS Morimoto is a well made kit with digital ballasts, relays and nice (BEEFY) harnesses and wires. I have used DDM in the past with zero issues, but it really depends on what wattage you decide on. My opinion is that if you are going for a 35W kit, then you can choose either. For 55W then I strongly recommend the TRS. You really can't go wrong with either. From a non-hardware standpoint, you absolutely CANNOT beat the reponse time and support from TRS. DDM has not so favorable support and longer response/resolution time. You'll be happy once you go HID! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Utah Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Thanks for the reply, I was leaning towards the Morimoto kit, so I think this pretty much solidifies that decision. Glad to see there are a lot of helpful members on this board, just like when I was on the G35 boards for like 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Utah Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Question, how do you know if you have DRL's on your Edge? I want to make sure I buy the correct kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Do your headlights come on at low power whenever you put your Edge in drive? If so, you have DRLs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Typically california and canada have OEM DRL's activated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 If you do live in an area that does not require DRLs by law but have them activated on the vehicle, you can get them turned off at the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apkarian100 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Morimoto all day. Although they are more expensive, they last way longer. DDM quality is 50/50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itoig Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Morimoto all day. Although they are more expensive, they last way longer. DDM quality is 50/50. oh yeah ddm are 50/50. out of 4 bulbs, one is crooked, one is 4300k, another is less than 5k, and the other is a little more than 5k. after the second set of bulbs i gave up and now going to replace them with the morimotos. i got the ddms because of the price and people were happy with them. maybe the batch i got was bad or whatever.
