Desno are OEM HID which come in Toyota, lexus....

Mcculloch is NOT from Japan their from China. I wouldnt pay that amount for them I would rather buy thses if I were u DIGITAL HID kit - store - retrosolutions They are very well know on Club RSX, I have a 55 Watt 5,000K in my car , great qaulity, great customer service.

Here is a review about them, they are great, about 63 pages of good reviews.

Guys guys stop advertising non-sponsored products from other companies. But yeah denso ballasts from ANY source will outlast any other aftermarket ballast whether it's digital or analog from eghey

Hey guys,

Thank you for yoru information. It seems Denso is a pretty good choice to go for. By the way, what is the difference between digital & analog in HID?

our stock housings are not meant for HID so performance can only be measured for a car with HID projectors. Digital lasts longer because of self correcting features that analog doesn't have, as well as a more controlled output, instead of highly variable output like the analog has. So more consistent, longer lasting, faster, smarter, bigger, better. Had enough?

If fabricated/built correctly, then yes.
But we all know aftermarket products(and especially electronics) are tested year after year in that chinese warehouse to assure safety and longevity, huh?

Thank you guys, the information is very helpful. What do you think Denso compare to Philip? Which one do you recommend? Also, where do you get your Denso?

Couldn't really find Denso on that sponsor website, any other? I know HIDEXPERT is selling Denso, anyone bought it from them before? Any feedback? Are they brand new in the box?
