To those with HIDs and Retrofits

I was on the retro fit source today and seen these http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=237

They are considerably cheaper then other full kits. I was wondering if they were cheaper cause they are smaller or because they are cheaper in quality. Any input or help would be appriciated. And I'm up for suggestions on where to get stuff even less expensive

Idk why those are cheaper, but if you scour ebay, you may be able to find some things cheaper

it says built in, does that mean I can never change the bulb?

Those look like halogen projectors with HID bulbs in them.

When I said scour ebay, I meant scour ebay for legit parts lol. Search for TL, FX, E55, etc projectors on ebay. Look on the retrofit source for the names of the projectors, etc you want, then see if you can find them cheaper on ebay. I actually got everything for my retro from ebay. Idk about those projectors, I cant find anything on them, and i've never heard of them either.

That kit is considerably cheaper because that's a complete aftermarket set up but they perform pretty well. If you're going to go with Morimoto's, go with the H1's > the D2S version that you chose. They perform better.

Those bulbs aren't made anymore so if you go with those you'll be s**t out of luck if a bulb goes out. The Morimoto H1's outperform the f**k out of those anyway.
