If you must ask about the company,you're nervous about the purchase.
Why not spend the extra bucks and buy from a vendor here and have piece of mind?
Their products have a very good track record.
I'm very happy with my XD Xtreme kit.

Xentec imo is okay. I bought two kits before. One for my mom's pilot and one for the fogs on the 250. They work great and easy to install. They still work great on the pilot and its been about 7 months now. Don't know on the 250 because traded that in. But like everyone says if you want peace of mind, try one of the vendors on here.

Let me help the OP out. I have a Zentech kit and have great experience ove rthe past 10 years with HID applications. My Zentech kit is a year old and I bought it for $120 shipped so I figured why not. Yes it still works, but it is a cheap unit that sometimes lightly flickers and causes radio static. Better quality ballast will not do this. I miss my Phillips ballasts, they never flickered (which can be annoying) and never cuased radio static when I did an HID conversion in my Infiniti back in 2001. All in all, I am fine with my purchase, but I think I will hit up Zenon Depot next time.

yea...my friend has a nissan altima and he said that most people on his forum and stuff have these kits. but im leaning towards the MobileHIDs. they have a CL GB page and they sell it for $170. which i think is an awesome price. just wanted to know what people thought of xentec. wat i found funny was that xentec is good according to people, but they dont have a website or a vendor or anything. its all ebay/amamzon status. but no disrespect to any xentec members/owners.

This is the kit I just installed with the help of Brian231....Mobile HID (Cliff) all the way. I cant tell you how great he is to deal with Well worth the 170$ and the peace of mind you will get when you purchase from Mobile HID.
