We've sold a lot of them without any major issues, a few people had issues, voiced them on the forum and that's led to people believing there is a major issue.
remember, those that love the product would not usually post, those that are unhappy almost always post.
We made a lot of folks happy with our products, don't let a few people change your opinions.

What do you mean stronger? You wont find anything "brighter" if thats what you mean. 4300k is going to give you the most light. Now if you want something a bit more blue, you can opt for 6000 or 8000k bulbs.

Just wondering if all 6th gen headlight housings are HID compatible? I just had HID light kit installed and it looks stock in appearence but now I am worried that since all non factory HID kits are illegal I could get pulled over.

No they're not. The other type of headlight assembly would be halogen and I worried about the same thing but got 35w slim ballast kit to be on the safe side. They don't look as good but oh well.....

ok well i got the same type of kit i think...is 35W and had ballasts installed. The headlight housing has the ball looking globe projector and doesn't look like it is incompatible at all so hopefully i won't get pulled over.
Went with 8K

when they start, if it "strikes" then fades in, they're HID. if they start like normal lamps, they're halogen
this is how HID's strike:

Personally I'd say HID kits on Ebay is a big waste of money. Good Luck with the flickering problem almost all of them have. If HID bulbs are on average $100 if you are to get real factory bulbs from a dealer, then wouldnt you find it weird to be able to get a whole conversion kit for cheaper which includes 2 bulbs, 2 ballasts, and the wire harnesss? Especially from an unknown company that spams Ebay pages full of the same product. At the very Least I'd spend $150.00 on a kit. One other piece of advise, yes the hint of blue and purple with 8,000k and 10,000k looks nice, IMO, it cuts down on visibility performance. 6,000k look just as good and give you the best visibility.

I bought my kit for $35 at ddmtuning.com and they lasted me 2 years with no problem. So cheap kits can work fine. Prob just have to get the right ones. I agree 6000k are the best for visability but thats just my opinion.
