volvomanNY Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 hey john,i oredered mine on Dec 5th. they are supposed to arrive according to frt co. on mon.the web site said they had a back order going so a little delay wasn't surprising.it said they were using up their old stock of thick ballast and all new orders would have the slim ballasts on the apex.i wish you would of announced your sale earlier.So does this mean will be getting the slim ones? or the think ones?

7 VII 7 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Please explain how you paid $30 less than $80 when their price is $59.95 plus shipping?I must say I am disappointed that this community has become so price driven though I do appreciate the people that continue to support a local vendor - most of you whom I have met at various meets nationwide and will likely do so again this coming year.I totally agree, I rather spend $30 more with a fellow VSer and great customer servicei bought from sharp good!

Came out to @ $55 shipped.Your comment may be valid if you are talking about a $10 - $15 difference in price for the same product, warranty, and service - or paying an even higher difference if any of those 3 factors were different. At the time I bought my kit you weren't advertising your sale, so it was a $45 dollar difference in price. As a consumer, it makes no financial sense to pay $45 dollars more for the same product with the exact same warranty, only because you are a member on VS. Tell me what kind of tangible benefit I would be getting by paying almost double the price? Sorry, but I got a deal that was too good to pass up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitz Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Aren't SharpHids the ultra slim ballasts and DDM tuning's are not? Also, it seemed DDM tuning was taking forever to ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drin850 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Aren't SharpHids the ultra slim ballasts and DDM tuning's are not? Also, it seemed DDM tuning was taking forever to ship.DDM tuning has regular sized and slim ballasts. i heard about DDM's sale before John's, so i bought it from them. As much as i would like to support the volvo community, i would of gone with DDM's because of the lower price. In the end i saved 55$US. but you can also say i got lucky cause i got the slim ballast for the price of the regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_R Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 The HID kit showed up at my house via UPS, signature required by the way. Took 2 weeks to get them from San Diego!!I bought the 35W (9006 bulb) for my Lexus fogs to match the factory HID's and they came with the slim ballast.
