They are giving me a hard time not replacing my bulb that died in 2.5 months, HIDxtra here tells me to email them directly regarding the issue, and I have multiple times. Have yet to receive a reply. I'm losing hope, getting impatient, will probably buy a set of bulbs elsewhere. I personally wouldn't buy from them again.

I honestly had a great experience with them. The HID kit I ordered from them was rock solid. No flickering or anything. I would definitely buy from them again but I've heard lots of bad stuff about them recently. Also, I was surprised that when I ordered HID kits off eBay, it was the same packaging as HIDeXtra.

Ive had great experience with them too, been a year now since i installed mine, I got the slim ballast so i didnt have to drill on the dust cap, I just have to play serious tetris on it. I will be getting some for my fogs when the sale starts too. Goodluck with your decision. Happy Thanksgiving!!

No relay or anything is needed. Just the ballasts and bulbs will do.

I have had my HIDextra fogs for almost 2 years. No problems whatsoever. I recommend them...especially for their prices.

my hidextra fog is still going strong for about a year with similar price. For the price, even if it failed down the road, not going to hurt the wallet compare to those higher price ones.

I have these for both low beams and fogs for over a year now. So far, no problems.
