SharpHID

When I first got in the business of selling HIDs I linked with a supplier offering two types of HID kits - the Apexcone large ballast kit and the DDM Ultra Slim ballast kit. Technology has progressed somewhat since I started and the products SharpHID offers have become better.

The Apexcone HID line used to use analog large style ballasts that were far heavier and thicker than the DDM Ultra Slim ballasts. The DDM ballasts have always been a thin digital ballast that has an external bulb igniter. The advantage of digital technology is that it offers a constant flow of power to the bulbs. The Apexcone output would vary slightly from ballast to ballast.

Recently Apexcone the company, who started the DDM product line, have switched to using all DDM digital slim ballasts for all the HID kits. This has allowed us to keep our prices the same even though shipping costs from Apexcone and from the manufacturer over seas have gone up a great deal.

So in summary there is no longer an Apexcone vs. DDM HID kit. They are now both the same. You may see some places offering the Apexcone kits with the battery and bulb out warning harnesses included. SharpHID offers these also but as additional items. Not all cars require them and having the two brands has brought up some confusion among customers. SharpHID has seen no reason to offer the kits this way.

I hope that this helps to answer some questions and reduce some confusion. As always SharpHID loves to hear from customers with questions, concerns, or simply feedback on the products.
