which kit do you guys think would be the best? there for my driving lights. the first one i noticed has a reputable website if you google them. the second kit has a 10 year warranty on bulb and ballast but idk if there as reputable.

All those ebay HID kits are made by the same few factories in china. As far as the warranty... Count on the company going "out of business" or changing name and contact info before you experience a failure.

I got mine from ebay but I haven't tested the bulbs since I have the other ones in use but they are good for that price if you don't wanna spend 80$ on a kit.
link in my sig, they'll honor the warranty on their end.
dead white and blue
yea do that!
those ebay ones will break pretty quick according to all the reviews of them... i just bought some hids and did some searching about all of them before i bought, they were all junk...
i dont wan to spend a whole lot ov money on an hid kit right now though because idont really have it so if i can get a kin for like 50 or preferrably under that will last me a few years when i can afford a good one thats what i would like to do plus i was looking for like 5000k which notorious does not have they start at 6.
all the cheap ones i found, would only last a few weeks or maybe even a month, not a few years... ya get what ya pay for!
save the extra 40 bucks and pay 89 for a kit
no 50 buck kit is gona last you a few years hell you dont even know if your car is gona last a few years lol
the 6000k is going to be super close to the 5000k, i really would go with the 3000k if i had it to do over, i think i got 6 but i don't remember.
like geddy said, 50 dollar kit = no go.

alright guys thanks for your input. i guess doing it right the first time will pay off.
how about this. i know you said no 50$ kits but they seem legit.

they all "SEEM" legit, but it's like angus said, they're all the same. the point is to buy from someone who can warranty items for you... if you feel comfortable with the level of service provided go for it.

i also dont know if i should go with a 35w or a 55w kit
and idk if i want 3000k, 45000, or 5000k eventually im gonna get one of each (headlights, driving, and fog lights) but i cant afford it now.

Go with the 35 watt
how come?
So you don't melt ur harness as fast as I'm sure ur not useing a relay kit
That is untrue. I have purchased 5 $50 kits from DDMtuning.com. Neither of them have failed, and I am going onto 3 years.

since i havent even wired my lights in yet i was going to get what ever kit then run the heavyist wire necessary to a relay then go to the switch from there
so would you recommend this company?
It could harm your harness. And cause damage to other wiring.
i was talking about 50 buck kits from ebay
of course if you have a retail site that has great costumer service then your good to go
Right. I went with a EFX (euroeffects.net) high/low kit and they replaced 2 ballasts which may or may not have failed due to the flip ups pulling on the thin HV wires... Third one I sent in I never received a replacement. I also had a cheaper kit which I replaced the EFX ballasts with. Never had a problem with those wires as they were a heavier gauge than the EFX, but one eventually filled with water an failed. Low and beholden PlanetHID.com no longer exists.
If I did it again I'd go with slim ballasts and mount them in the retractors or use a replaceable (less than $10) HV extension cable.
I went with a 4300K high/low kit and it's plenty blue. Anything higher than 6000K is beaneresque. I know this is for driving lights, but for the headlights on our cars use a high/low kit with the magnetic bulb retractors and leave the end caps in place. Hella or autopal E-Code housings will be the only H4 housings that will handle the light properly. Don't be a cheap asshole and blind the shit out of the rest of us.
Any proper high/low kit will come with a relay and separate power source for the ballasts.

I had a low kit and the light went everywhere but on the road. The shields on the bulbs aren't designed for the H4 conversion housings.
