Ordered a DDM kit and not only did it take 6 years to get from China, no directions, and the adapter isn't working. Straight forward, I pulled out the stock bulb. Next, I go to fit the hid bulb into its "adapter" that has the peg/ stand offs. Their adapter has a slit down it. Is this for the wires to go through to get the adapter onto the bulb? If so, the wires are way too big and this cheap plastic WILL break. Before I shoot a 9mm into this whole rip off set of HID's can somebody please help me. Also, there is NO way the stand off/adapter will go into my headlight socket without grinding off the corners. They adapter is square, my plugs adapter on the headlight is round. I highly do NOT recommend DDM. Crap company, crap product, non existent tech help.
Please help, HID kit sucks

pics might help? my kit fit fine, no issues at all?
I'm stuck on my iphone , no laptop, mazda247 isn't tap talk compatable... Can't upload pics. This really sucks. Should have just paid double for a kit from the US. If I'd have known they drop shipped from the other side of the world, I'd have paid double. Big bait and switch there...
Did you guys have to slide the adapter over the wires on your kit? I mean just 1 hand drawn chicken scratch instruction sheet would have been helpful. I have ground up restored cars before, so it's not like installing a headlight should be any challenge at all. If they haven't sent me an incompatible kit, than I don't know what to say. The adapter was square, NOT even close to fitting down in the recess so the spring retainer can fit it.

It is possible you have the wrong adapter.
If you could find a way to take a pic, I can tell you if it's the right one or not.

This cars headlights have definately been messed with at some point. The wires have electrical tape on them and bare wire is under the tape I removed. The here is what I'm looking at... Headlight assembly, then the stock bulb, then a plastic adapter, then a plug, black rubber boot seal, etc. when I carefully just stick in the HID, I swear I think it's bottoming out in the reflector cup. Nothing they provided will bring the HID back out of the reflector cup in my lense assembly.i gently just put in the HID, then closed the wire clamp, and it's not gonna work. I took pics, and emailed them to myself, but too many login attempts blocked me. My phone stored the password I guess. I'm just having a very bad week and then this...
yep buzzing totally normal.
Ok, 4 hours later, they are in and done. Just need to adjust. They definately sent me the wrong adapter, but thankfully I have a milling maching and a fab shop. Otherwise.. Eek. Hank, thanks! Flipped them and they do seat better. Ahh, the power of the Internet! Thanks again you guys!
The problem with the adapter that they supplied is that once you slid the wires through, and put the adapter on the back of the plug/wire group that comes out of the plug hits the adapter before the adapter can properly seat against the plug flange. I had to dremel/ clearance the adapter a lot.
