I've had mine for 2 months with no issues. I built my own custom power relay and wired in an electrolytic capacitor to eliminate possible flickering (never tested otherwise). It works perfectly. Car is stored outside with no cover and it rains A LOT here in Mobile. Relay ensures clean, steady power to the ballasts; I wouldnt run without one.

Ebay HID Kits are hit and miss. My HID plug and play has lasted for.. close to two years without problems.
Beam pattern still sucks with the oem projectors, but unfortunately not worth a $400 retro fit .
The 92-94 es300' fog lights are easy to mod the shield, so that the cut off will be sharper.

I purchased a XENTEC eBay HID kit in 3000K about 6 months ago, it's still working great and I am experiencing no issues with it! btw, it was $75 shipped! Seller's name I believe was 'XenonAutoHaus'

MY mistake, I looked at the seller's paypal name instead of eBay ID....his eBay username is 'supervtec'

Here is a link to an auction for the same product I purchase, just if you buy it make sure you specify what bulb size/color combination you would like. I would also email them first to make sure they have your preference in stock. These guys were one of the few sellers I found that didn't have to special order or charge extra for the 3000K kit in the bulb size I bought (H1).

thanks for the info.... but i already purchased a set from one of the other ebayers that was suggested. It should be coming in this weekend or by next weekend. I'll try to post some pics along with the name.

I went with the cheaper one t70_supra bought from for $65-70 one which was a pnp 9006 8000k hid... even though i prefer 6000k. Thought i'd try it out.
