My local shop sells a 6000K HID kit from "HIDMax" or some bullshit line. I've never heard of the company and was curious as to if I'm getting ripped off. They want to charge $600 including labor, but plus tax. They are a respectable shop and have done many HID upgrades to kids with BMWs, Audis and VWs that had normal lights. Any suggestions on what I should do?

thats a lot of $ man... You can do a complete retrofit for the same price.

I got screwed on a HID Conversion Kit. All they are good for is a headache...I'm doing a Retrofit (with lots of pics taken) now and will post a DIY when I am done...

i ended up ordering hella 7300K HIDs for $100 less from another shop. is that a good deal?

$500 a good deal? No, not really. BTW, 7300K is not Hella. The ballasts may be pulled (picked from junkyards or similar) Hellas, but the bulbs definitely are not.

I got mine for $400, been running six months without a problem, and they're great. Not as nice as a retrofit, though.
