Yes, many members on this forum use Xentecs, they are cheap only $80 shipped. Some will eventually develop minor problems such as a failed ballast but consider the price for these, they are a great buy.

Thank you both and i do appericiate the feedback. As I was doing my research i found many customers who were having the ballast falier problem. But like you said look at the price $80 shipped, but i do not mind spending a few more bux to get a better quality kit. Somone recommended me to visit xenoneyes.com and buy that product, are you familiar with it?

Most HID kits are all the same (the generic big metal ballast). Companies just buy them and slap their sticker on, though there are different ones too. What is important is the warranty and the return policy of the company selling them which I noticed justifies the prices of the kits.
