Well if you want to take the cheap route as I took my first time around, you can check out www.wholesalehid.com (think that is the site). I had them on my 300 and they worked pretty well... of you can try hidxenondepot... check in the vendor classifieds about this issue before you proceed though... Good luck..

yeah xenondepot.com is the only place ive seen.
either that or carid.com but i read some reviews on carid, that the buyers didnt even get the brand in the picture, so eff that site.

xenondepot sounds good, but idk if their the best or really all that great. like i said, i havnt seen anyone actually name the brands they use or where they get their HIDs from

this could very well be true too i suppose.

it might be like hdmi cables (only analogy i can think of at the moment) for tvs. theres monster, and all the high end brands, but it turns out, an hdmi cable is an hdmi cable, no matter the brand.

but il still keep looking at all the diff hid brands lol

so far im likeing the xentronics and the ones mr jokster posted.
and im assuming thats the good stuff, cus their both 299.00 lol
i guess when i asked for the good stuff, you guys really threw them at me. thanks.

and the only reason i like xenondepot is cus they seem good enough and the price range is good.

but im open to more, so keep them coming please!

I dont think that changes the MAIN title... the last time I did that, it only changed the title that appears above the post in the topic part...

I think you gotta PM a moderator to change it.

I got my HIDs from xenondepot. They come packaged nice. They look good out the box. What I liked was the dual harness with their own fuse and relay so if one goes bad u don't lose both lights.

I'll send pics after I change my bulbs later this week. Steve at xenondepot will help u out. I've never dealt with any other dealer, but I can vouch that they have atleast one person that'll get back to you promptly with any questions.

Did that once... Ballast was bad right out of the box

if you DO go ebay, I'd suggest you go with someone as close to you as possible so it will be quick and cheap to deal with. Dont mess with them china crap. I did on a $40 kit, they asked me to ship it back at my expense (which was $40 bucks) and pay for them to ship me a free one?! so I have to pay $80 bucks for a ballast from a $40 kit... lol, yea right i blame myself.

DDM tuning. Lifetime warranty, and kit is around $50. I bought one for the '10 Camry half a year ago, and works very well.
