You get what you pay for man. Believe me.

I've tested my fair share of kits...

You won't get a wire harness with those kits and becaues of that, you'll be risking a fried OEM headlight plug. Not fun.

Some ballasts don't have internal power capacitors so they intermittently just shut off, fail to fire up, or even dim when the subs hit.

do NOT get these, i did on my mr2, while they had decent output, a ballast blew after just 5 hours of use.

Spend the extra $100-200 and get a real set, ones with the relayed harness.

Since this has been discussed at great length before, can a mod close this thread?
