Quality HIDs

Ive been wanting to get HIDs for a long time now and Ive decided to finally get some.

What ive been wondering is what makes a HID kit good... The ballasts or the bulbs? or Both?

Reason why I ask is that they sell these HID kits on ebay for $60 shipped. Price has me worried though. I checked the feedback and no one has complained about it so far?

the only "quality kits" are comprised of all oem hid equipment, bulbs, ballasts, and projectors (or reflectors).

I got mine for about $100 ship. Quality product so far after 3 months. It was from some vendor on clubcivic.


Make sure you get 4300k! 6000k AT THE MOST. 8000K+ is for the ricers and stuff.

if you're gonna go HID. do it the RIGHT way. retrofit OEM projectors and use 4300K. 8000K is for ppl who want tickets and like Arthas said ... ricers

your stock housing is not meant for HID bulbs. unless your goal is to blind other drivers.
