Question Good Price?

Some guy locally is selling a HID kit with Hella ballast and 7500K bulb for $350. Is that a good price? I want to install it in my SC.

Rominl,

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't ask him where's the bulb from. I'll call him this afternoon for more info. BTW, what else should I ask him?

Rominl, are you located in the SF Bay Area.

yeah i am in sunnyvale

who makes the bulbs, warranty, picture of the bulb, any blue tinted glass on the bulb? brand name? those would be the stuff you should look into. but if it's 7500k, it can't be philips or osram coz' they don't make it. and personally i don't get anything else except these two

Romy, your also missing one thing... He wants to put them in his SC.. Lex2Go, if you wat to purchase them make sure they're the right bulb size.. You'll need a D2S bulb, not a D2R....
