Does anyone have any experience with either one of these HID kits on an S3? What about this seller?

Any help and guidance on improving the visibility factor on my S3 would be appreciated.

I've bought from ddm tuning and I'm very happy with their product. I haven't bought one for a single headlight though. It's cheaper too.

I have a DDM light on my M2 and love it.

It is so bright I have seen pedestrians cover their eyes as I approach.

If you want a bright light, can't go wrong with a DDM.

I installed the DDM tuning kit last week as well. Very easy install (even though it didn't come with instructions). The only modifications I did was rig up 2 extensions for the ground and power wires so that they would reach the battery.
I did the 2 light H4 (6000K) hi-lo kit (I have dual headlights on my X1).
Very bright, they work well, the only complaint is that the kit is obviously built for cars and there is a lot of wire tucking to do.

I don't know if the S3 and X1 share the same size headlight bucket but if they do you'll have trouble fitting the DDM Tuning hi/lo HID bulb inside the bucket. The hi/lo type bulb has the "switch" built at the back end of the bulb and it is just a tad too long to allow putting the bucket and lens back together. You should be OK if you just go with the "low beam only" type. There is a good deal of wiring/relay that comes with the kit but it is not that hard to hide them under/near the tank.
