Opinion on McCulloch HID kits?

I'm thinking about buying a set of McCulloch HID kit for my fog lights as well as pair of their 6000k D2R bulbs. However, I've heard bad reviews about the company(not the product), where they have horrible CS. Has anyone here owned their kit? I'm only considering them because they are priced well, and their Gen5 ballasts are small and compact.

i've had a McCulloch HID kit that i have purchased off of ebay, so didnt have a chance to deal with their customer service, but the quality of the HID kit was really good, only used them for 2 months, but they have never failed me.

I put the 6000k kit on my Dad's bimmer just over 10 months ago, he's put about 15k on it since then and they have gotten a good ammount of use. Haven't had any problems at all. A D-Sta on here got me a good deal on them. I'll ask him tommarrow for the details again



heres the difference between the stock bulb


and this is whats all in the kit

go to hidplanet.com/forums and pick up some OEM ballast there. OEM is the best quality when it comes to HIDs. Then get soem rebased d2r's.
