? on HID's....

I know a lil about them, but found this site, selling this kit for this much, do you guys think this is good? Also want to know the good and bad about them. Thanks I'd appreciate it, cause I'm tempted to get some......

do you have an accord or a tl? if u have an accord well i go on and search them but if you have a Tl you dont need this. all you need is shte bulb it self not the whole kit. tl's come with the kits you can just replace the bulb..

The good? The look nice and is more light on the road.

The bad? expensive for a good set. There are some really generic brands out there now and I hear some bad stories. You can try www.hidforum.com and they will pretty much tell you what is good or bad.

There was a set of Korean brand that was good, called.... Max or K2... something like that sold on midnightmoose.

McCullouch, from what I heard is bad. I have not owned a set but they say within a year expect problems. These are usually the ones on eBay.

Catz WAS a good brand but have gone out of business in the US.

Philips is always known as a good brand as well as Hella ballasts. The bulbs they say OSRAM and Philips as well. Other ppl on the forum went with generic bulbs and are happy. MUCH cheaper and their logic is, it is cheaper to own two pair that doesnt last as long as a expensive pair of Philips that last.

Depends on your loot and what you plan to spend.

Btw, those are probably an OK price.

Philips does not make an 8000k Kit. A friend owns a K2/MAX 8000k Kit, still going at 2.5 years.

The don't ever go for $800 as the website says. I think i've seen them go for $275 on ebay or so. I've seen some local stores charge $500, big ripoff.
