Default Best bang for the buck PNP HID kit?

Hey guys,

I have two cars which luckily use the same bulbs, but still, I have gone through soo many kits because they burn out after a few months that I am back to stock bulbs on both cars.

I would like to go back to HID's on the LEX cause it looks soo much better and the visibility is nice.

So my question is, WHICH KIT HAVE YOU HAD THE BEST LUCK WITH?

I have used nothing but XENTEC and had great luck with some and not so good with others.

Thanks!

T

Thanks Alan!!!!!!!

DDM tuning seems to offer lifetime warranty which is nice...plus they make stuff for german cars, so it's gotta be good, right?

But then again, HIDextra is a supporting vendor...decisions, decisions.

They have 2 kits...one slim ballast and one normal sized ballast.

After doing research, i opted for the bigger ballasts as they are apparently stronger overall and cheaper.

My kit was shipped straight from China and arrived after about a week with the chinese labels and all...still going strong, no flickering.

I got 6000k 35w.

The 55w is stronger but has more light (less color/more white) so a 6000k 55w will look more like a 4300k 35w.

HID's from DDM have been on the car since late AUGUST and not a single flicker/fail to light up....highly recommended!

I will most likely order another set for my talon.

I got the big old skool cheaper kit btw, not the slim ballasts.

Cheers,
