Looking at getting a set of hids from ddm tuning.. I normally get 55 watt ballast but i dont know if s14 can handle it without blowing fuses constantly.

(Went from a integra to a s14... 8 years of my life wasted)

I suggest not to get hids for the s14 cause the light pattern isn't meant for hids, so youre pretty much gunna get less light output

What bulbs do you currently have? get some new OEM bulbs, philips 85122+ or osram CBI (if you want a cooler color temp). I would re-wire the car with a quality relay harness like this:

DDM is garbage. Only use oem bulbs and ballasts if you want the best reliability and performance.
