Default DDM or O-Nex HIDs

Hey guys I've asked a similar question before but now the two brand I'm finally looking at are the ones mentioned above. O-Nex are JDM and obviously more expensive (I can get them for $125 shipped). The DDM ones are about $85 shipped but are Chinese made. Opinions please!

Never heard of O-Nex, most of us here have DDM and love them. Most electronics are made in China, I don't think it's a valid point to judge them. Who can complain about great digital HID ballasts that come with a lifetime warranty?!?!

Mine have been installed for about 8 months now with no problems.

Got some good points there. I guess a lot of people are skeptical about 70 dollar HIDs but a lot ppl stand by their DDM's obviously including you.

Yep, I'd buy them again. I don't know what the differences are between the cheaper, non-OEM ones, but I would think they're all nearly identical. If you want something that is guaranteed to work for a long time, Matsu****a (Panasonic) and Philips ballasts are very good (and very expensive).

With the DDM lifetime warranty, there really isn't any risk involved. Many people have them and I've never read anything negative about the product or the company except that shipping was extremely slow around Christmas.
