Haven't had any problems with hid kits off ebay. You really should use the search function. I am pretty sure every question you have asked can be answered using the search function. Your threads remind me of a member who used to post here, (louiegs4?)

I've bought numerous HID kits from ebay and only had problems with one company who displays all there kits with a stock photo of a red box. I didnt know they were in Japan. but other than them, they will all work fine, the problem you will run in to are the "colors". one persons 6000k is anothers 8000k. I had to buy 3 different sets of bulbs from 3 companies to get the right 14000k I was looking for, one was a DARK DARK navy blue the other still blue, then I finally got the purple I wanted. Its funny though, there are 2 sets of "stock" pics that EVERYONE uses of the kits on cars and saying that they are their own LoL. I would recommend a seller near by to deal with just in the case you have an issue.

b i have no idea why an HID headlight question would be unrelated to a headlight lens question. But again, has been answered 100 different times in 100 different ways, you just were too lazy to search.

i'll let the mods try and convince you of C, you were already told in the performance sub-forum once why this is a problem.

every one of your threads follows the same pattern. If you dont get exactly the answer you're looking for you flip out and go all internet-psycho on whoever is just trying to help you. Do whatever pleases you man, i could care less, all we're trying to do in responding to your threads is help you out.
for ONCE i actually agree with jcat. u do go totally nutzoid if people dont give you a answer you like. trust me this site is FULL of usefull information but sometimes you need to search for things yourself or you could go to the LOC where you'll get NO answers from ne1 as for the most part they are VERY unhelpful over there which is y i post on here alot now. as i tell everyone...remember this is a very helpful and useful site and somedays people forget we're all here just to help each other!

yeah i feel the same vibe....that louie guy was a post ***** though.. like 1600 in 2 months and most said "yeah do it" or "that looks good" or we babble hit his small brain. i searched for him awhile ago as i know his first sn got banned and he made a 2nd screen name but i think they banned that one also

I just put in a set of HID's in my winter beater.

At work a guy that works for me told me about them. I ignored him thinking probably a total POS. Then he showed up with them in his Expedition. They blew me away. So much so I bought them for me, 2 employees for xmas gifts, my dad and my GF.

It's all plug and play. Not as good as the Lexus HID's, but you get the bulbs, ballasts and they cost 85 bucks. Now everyone at work is buying them from him. Huge difference. Not sure about that kit, but the kit's that we get are made in the US and have a 1 year warranty.

Now the only test is to see how long they last. I've had mine for a month so far and no problems.
