being someone that has sold quite a few kits, I'm gonna have to disagree. Mine aren't made in China or Taiwan. They be jDM y0!

there is definitely a difference in quality. eBay ones may work fine for some people, for me it just doesn't cut it. By all means do buy eBay ones, I'm all for saving money. Doesn't matter to me. I'm just simply offering what I believe to be a more superior product at a rather affordable price.

Ebay hid it is.

This is a legal mod, correct?

What about aftermarket lamps, specifically the yellow tinted ones?

No, there is nothing legal about installing HIDs in a car that didn't come with them from the factory. A dumb one, but still a law.

I've heard these things generally suck in the stock halogen housing, are they just as bad with cheap projectors?

So I picked up a set of these on eBay for $65 shipped, and I was VERY surprised at the quality (in a good way). I purchased a 6000k kit from Xenonautohaus on eBay and installed them into my stock 92 4-door headlight housings. I was afraid of glare at first but for $65 I just wanted to try them out. It has a very nice cutoff and the bulb actually has a shield built into the bottom of it to prevent light reflecting up into people's eyes from the bottom of the housing. I went with the 6000k just for a slight bluish tint, and I'm happy to report it doesn't look ricey at all, it's exactly as I wanted. I did lose my high beams with this kit, but the HIDs are brighter than my crappy old high beams even were. After going for a test drive I wasn't shining too high at all or blinding anybody. Shipping was super fast, took 2 days to arrive in WI from CA.

I know this thread sucks without pics... I'll take some very soon. And cross your fingers this cheap eBay kit doesn't stop working in a week :6
