HID questions

What are the reasons you would buy the McCullogh HID kits as opposed to one of the $100 ebay specials, they both offer a 1 year warranty. they both last 3000+/- hours. what the reasons?

Why would you buy a Honda compared to a Toyota? Both have same classes and sizes, but it all comes down to preference!

Some may also "trust" a direct company more than ebay...I'm one of them

At least consider some of the el'cheapo kits here in the Group Buy section. Far less risky, and only a bit more. I think I saw some for $160 here.

Well this one is in LA so shipping risk would be out, plus its a store so no DOA.

haven't looked into them too much, but don't we have bi-xenon headlights? and aren't they more than the ones going for around $150-160 here in the GD section?
