Re: what are some good hid's??

I bought mines from an ebay dealer for like $35 bucks shipped

I actually bought 5 sets from them, all installed and works great.
Had them for a year all of them no problems so far

So you bought 5 sets from them.how long did each set last? I don't want to buy cheap ones if I just have to keep replacing the hid's.

I bought DDM's work great for over two months. My friend has had DDM's in his SC400 for over a year and a half with no issues.

Re: what are some good hid's??

If you bought them off that ebay dealer i recommended, you should be fine. HIDs are HIDs.

Haven't had any problems with them.

I actually bought expensive slim ballast HIDs from some guy on craigslist for $50 and didn't like them, they were too noisy
I resold them for $60, and bought the ebay ones.
They are quiet, I like them far better than the expensive ones.

Plus, they have 10 yr warranty on defects

it wasnt that one exactly it was another one but it had a 2 year warranty so that should be good enough. if not ill go with the ddm w/lifetime warranty.
