Default HID updates anyone???

Those who have purchased HID Kits from that one auction site...do you guys have any updates?
Any issues with the bulbs, harness, ballast, or anything?
Good and bad out there....
Just wanted to hear about long term usage on them.

Thanks.

I'll chime.

Mine are still working great, although I've only had them a few months. I don't recall the exact brand name, but it was something goofy. I'll look it up later.

Nope, I got mine from other seller on ebay, but I can't remember who it was to save my life. I can't find a record of the auction in my ebay history, I guess I must have bought it directly from him.. but I can't imagine why I would have gone that route.

For my fogs, I went with a different seller because I couldn't find who I bought my headlights from, and he sent me a kit by Xentec. It seems ok quality wise, but the components don't look as nice as the ones in my first kit. I've actually got two of these Xentec kits (one for spare parts), so we'll see how they hold up.

this is a direct question to you.......

what do you have for your "city" lights... ore more like the inner oval light casings...

i like the look, i just need to know is it a HID kid? or a simple LED194 bulb?

.................................................. .....


in addition i have a red jag xtype... ive been thinking i tint my headlights black and tail lights black including all the corners. a red and black detail...

but i think i am too grown up for that. i am only 22 but i need to grow out of it

what you are seeing is H1 blue bulbs being turned on
its the parking light set up on the remote basically
what you want though is the LED style 194 bulb
get them in the bright white color and they should be a good
match for your HID's


I am still looking for longterm feedback on people with HID's.
I know alot of people have them on here, but no one is answering
anything. People either are TRULY not happy with them or just
dont want to say they are.
