Try to avoid ebay HIDs. Not worth the potential headache

I wouldnt do anything off of ebay, like everybody else has said. I bought two HID kits from mod-express for around that price. They have fairly quick shipping and very good customer service with a one year no hassle warranty on their bulbs and ballasts. Had mine for 2 years without any problems so far and they're really bright. There are two separate kits

May want to consider HID Projectors for the fogs to have the proper beam and can see a lot better than using the existing housing.

Thanks for the kind words guys =)

Clearly i'm biased about our HID kits but if you are interested in a XenonDepot HID kit, the current promotional price is literally the lowest we have ever sold our products for. A Volt HID kit with a ClubLexus discount is $89.99 shipped within the continental USA. It comes with a 2 year warranty that is handled directly through us and you support a supporting vendor.

Regards,

Steve

a few friends have it here, all good except one guy had a ballast burnt out....was soooooooo much hassle to get it replaced...

i think it's only good if you live down the street and can actually walk in to get warranty support lol
