Google only gives a couple results and those are all over $200; not 100-200 like stated in the OP.

Can someone tell me where you got this kit from also.
I skimmed through the thread, but found nothing.

Name has been censored from the site because their products are so good and are viewed as unfair competition to board sponsors.

Here is a hint to get you to their website:

Got my 5000k from there. Still going strong after 1.5 years. Just flickers once like once a week. Been like that since installation. Dont know whats wrong.

**0720Steve** · 09-17-2008, 11:41 AM

i was wondering the same thing. i get a flicker a couple minutes after startup. i think it might do it once per side, or just both of them twice. didn't someone say they fixed this issue....some ballast problem?

whizy · 09-17-2008, 12:33 PM

i thought all eBay HID kits are same .. I got the cheap one ($58 shipped).. this person selling $100+

Leonard1818 · 09-17-2008, 12:35 PM

in the OP, the TS suggests you can power these with your OEM wiring.... why is this? I thought ballasts needed more power (to be wired directly to the battery) and that is why people buy wiring harnesses from places like Custom Lightz...

tda1337 · 09-17-2008, 12:40 PM

negative
they dont NEEd more power
BUT there is the possibility that they draw more current (spike) if they are bad
the reason for the harness is in case of this spike, your stock wiring is safe
now generally a fuse should be enough to take care of that
BUT fuses have some play in them lol

That's funny. I KNOW I typed in "(why is K Light removed here?) HID". Apparently a mod decided to delete "K_LIGHT". wtf?!

And, for the record, no I'm not imagining things. I'm particular about my grammar. I would have NEVER had a space between the ' and the following words like is above.

Mods, WTF!?

EDIT: LMFAO Apparently typing K_Light without the space will automatically remove it from your quote, just as above. That's the weakest thing I've EVER seen on a forum.

tda1337 · 09-17-2008, 02:08 PM

thats what happens when companies try to quash competition thats bad for them lol

Leonard1818 · 09-17-2008, 02:28 PM

I wanna try it:

Wow, no crap... I typed K Light (no space) and it's gone! Magical. What other words can't we type *******
