really? well i guess with the volume of sales they make, they cant be perfect. for the most part, they've been good, aside from their raptor brand kits which have a high failure rate. my 55w slims in my headlights have been fine for me, then again i've only had them on the car since the day before acurafest. im probably going to pickup a 35w kit in either 3000k or 5000k for my projector fogs when i get them.

Why not just wait and save for a Samsung or Panasonic? Seems like buying either of those would be a bad idea. Plus 32" LCD's are going pretty cheap now considering LED's are coming in now.

in a stock headlight housing, 35w, i only recommend 55w for headlights which are designed for HIDs from factory aka have a special beam pattern, or for quality projectors (not ebay projectors). 55w in a halogen housing is just asking to get flashed from on coming traffic, not to mention the added heat from the 55w version may discolor the chrome.

Doesn't help when you headlights are made for RHD either. hahaha. I think my eyeliner (on the car.. lmao) kind of helps.

this is for short term use... 1-2 years, not planning to keep it. We just need a TV for the PS3.
