    Id buy Phillip's or higher brands like that, when it comes to HIDs you DO get what you pay for, The cheap ones suck. I bough a set 2 years ago that were $250 and the ballast blew in a month, I have heard of many people buying inexpensive kits and have all problems. When it comes to HIDs pay a bit more and get a quality kit, trust me on this one

    I agree you get what you pay for, that is why so many people try and pull HID's of factory cars. Aftermarket kits are hit or miss most of the time.

    Research a good bit because I had Phillips HID's on my Galant and they were crappy and yellowish then I went and bought some from a company called Eaglelite 9K and they looked much better then the Phillips and lasted me 2 years and I sold them when I parted out my car so I don't agree completely with statements above. And I got mine when no one really had true HID's yet on the show scene.
