anything else?
so far for the price i guess im going with xenondepot.com

i REALLY like the two high end brands tht were mentioned, but since their just going to be my fogs, and not my lows, i guess xenon will be good enough. if it were going to be for my lows, my main source of light, then yeah i might as well would go for the top top expesnive stuff. but the xenons are about 120 less. damn but i sure loved the other two
..if only i was rich.

i guess. but do they actually honor their warranty? and at what expense is their warranty? if i have to pay to ship them (messed up ones) and then i have to pay shipping for the new replacements (or repaired) itl end up being the same as buying them new no?

im sure the liftime warranty is better than not, and i dont think xenon depot has that, but how good are they in quality compared to others, not just because of the warranty means their good. (dont mean in a bad way)
just tyring to make sure i get a good product

+1. Good stuff. Got the 5000k HIDextra Slim kit on my LX470. No bulb out errors, no flickering, and no radio issues. Color is crisp white.

Highly recommended. Very please with the kit.

DDM tuning will honor their warranty, under normal conditions of use. I believe you have to pay for return shipping, and they ship the new product to you. Do a search here and on google...they are very well established. They do make pretty solid products.

I've installed two kits from 3bspec. So far I've been happy with both. $100 including relay harness or PnP and shipping.

No issues at all, they come professionally packed/boxed. The bulbs were protected nicely. U can tell they didn't come from some dudes basement, which might be the case with eBay kits.

If your only doing the fogs though, a cheaper kit may do fine.

i see everyone talking about hids but no one says WHERE they bought them or what brand their running!
I had several installed. The one I like the most is from HIDextra.com, cheap costs about $50 and easy to install.

I have also bought from xenondepot, it has its own wiring harness that draws power directly from the battery, costs $180 and a bit cumbersome to install. The worst thing is the bulbs have different hues. The left bulb is a bit yellow compared to the right. Not happy with this purchase at all.
