The Plot Thickens! I got an email at 12am this morning with an Order Completed notice and a shipping number. Oh and the UPS tracking number is invalid. UPS can't find it. Why, because they mailed it FedEx even though the email says UPS. Left CA on May 4th, but my delivery date is May 8th, I didn't think Fed Ex worked on Saturday, but if it does arrive on Saturday, that will be sweet, because my S5 style headlamps are arriving today.

Anyways, I think if I get this package tomorrow you can all stop worrying about DDM stealing your money. Everyone loves their kits, and I ordered mine on the 27th in the evening. It's only been 8 business days since I placed my order. And since it shipped on the 4th it only took them 4 business days to ship it.

Did you get the S5 style lights from parts for euro? If you did I hope you ordered a H1 HID set and not H7 since thats what those headlamps take

These are the HELIX headlamps from partseuro, yes.



I actually ordered an H1 and H7 because I am doing both the LED lights and the fogs. I knew in advanced thanks to forums like this: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...43#post2875543

The headlights just came today! So did my cross drilled rotors!

You better get some pics up when those things come in!
Ok so Im thinking of ordering a set tonight. Should I get 55w or 35w? You said most people get 35w but whats so different about 55w? And do I need to get the error code things or are they just plug and play?

I'll be posting pictures when everything is all done. Kind of hard to tell during the day, but when I turn the headlamps on, the LED's are noticeably whiter, they'll look way better with the HID kit.

I don't luckily. They are on the FedEx truck and out for delivery. Brie we will have to chat, how did you adjust these lights? Because mine are totally out of wack, I'm a little frustrated that their are only two screw holes when the OEM lights use 4.

Also did you buy these LED Tails: http://www.europeanperformanceproduc...-B5-Sedan.html

or the ones on Ebay? I'm trying to copycat TimboA4 who as far as I can tell has never fessed up to where he bought his stuff. Most people assumed ebay, but the ebay LED tails are not the same, they don't have bottom LED's and the led's are in lined groups.

I live near DDM Tuning and as a walk in customer the line is always a bit of a wait! They have the cheapest HID's that I have ever found! I am currently running three sets in my car!

They CAME! I looked at the directions and was like WTF!

After all the time spent wiring up the LED S5 lights, I'm not installing my HID's on those today. But I was going to tackle the fog lamps, but hell if I can figure out how to get these stupid plastic things off the bulb.
