    Hi, REVAN & PUMKIE

    This is the web site at eBay where I bought the kit in question, The HID'S work great, On the road it lights up everything in your path, and also lights up any reflectors about an mile down the road, even some of the drivers on the road are asking about the lights. They are an BIG Improvement over the stock lighting system.

    Ok, here it goes. To all who say that hid is bad and you can not see at night. To all who say that you'll get the CEL/similar with the hid. Plus, others. = you're wrong. 98% . I sell hid kits. I install hid kits. I also
    Advice not to buy anything under $150 and above $300. Under $150 the quality is not there, over $300 is overpriced. Talking from personal experience here ; have two of my own cars, in which hid is installed as the low beam. One of my car's uses the same bulb for the
    High and low beams bi's. - this car has the wiring harness and the kits are more expensive for this type of the set up. My Honda motorcycle has hid kit. My brothers acura has original crappy hid kit, which is going out soon. My fog lights have the hid kit. Now, my rig has the hid kit. Installed them all my self. Sell them too. Now, the brightness of the hid bulb will Be dependent on the kalvin temp of the light , not to be mistaken with the C or F temperature. Hid can be installed into any headlight that has the removable bulb. I have the 2007 Volvo vnl780 with the hid kit and had no need to go to the dealer to pay them for the reprograming truck's computer. That's another reason why the price was quated at the higher number. Kit carries 3 year warranty. Hid's work fine in the Projected or halogen headlights.

    I do not carry the 5k. Only 4300k or 6000k, I sell others as well, just nothing in between 4300k and 6000k. 4300k will give you the most brightness without going to the brighter but yellow 3000k. - fog light application where I would recommend these. Now, 6000 give off bluish tint and look cool but, they are easy to spot as non oem and they are somewhat blinding. Plus, the light output is not as high as 4300k. 4300k is white light, not yellow or blue. If you provide me your email address I can send you some pictures of my lights being on. I'm currently parked outside of the Atlanta Georgia and will be home in one week.

    The kits that I carried before had 5k option and offered lifetime warranty. However, they burned out 3 times in 1 year in one of my cars. Vs these, which I only sell, still good after 2 years
    And carry 3 year warranty. But, costs more. So, I do not use the supplier with the lifetime warranty. In my opinion, I'd rather pay the higher premium and have less headaches, not replacing vs replacing kits 3 or so times a year.
