well for a Kit i would go with mculloch or xtec or techone or xenondepot...(we have a techone vendor which does it for a good price)

but if u want anything thats truley reliable than it would have to be a retrofit with OEM equipment from a bmw, audi, benz, s2000, tsx, tl, etc

youre headlights shouldnt fog because of lights, you prolly just have a leak. Mine dont fog up. They did, but it was because I didnt seal them enough when I I blacked em out. Its fixed now and doesnt fog up. You should check that out.

I think peter was his name (abe's friend i got the lights from) and his kits are EXCELLENT quality, i dont know where anyone gets the idea that they arent.

born2xLr8 will become famous soon enough
I got the techone's from the groupbuy forum. They were $240 shipped. Got 6000k H4. Low beam is HID and high beam is halogen. They also came with glare sheilds and light output is tons better than halogen. So far, they seem alright for the low low price but if i had twice as much money to blow then I would definitely go retrofit.

^agreed. I think you just didnt install them right. Ive had mine for over 6 months no with no signs of wear, or even defects. I personally know 4 other people besides myself with this kit who have no problems with theirs. Maybe you just got a bad kit or didnt install them right?

Here are pictures of defective ballasts from our warehouse... I'm sure thousands of people installed them bad..





If you want a closer look PM me your email and I'll send larger pictures.

why would they be out of the question? I mean sure thats alot of ballasts, but like I said I, along with a few other friends, have this exact kit with no problems. Besides, if theres a manufacture defect, youll be covered under warranty. I dunno, its up to you, but just because someone posted pictures of some ballasts all piled up doesnt make me wanna get rid of mine. If they break, then ill just get new ones. I dont think they should be out of the question. Besides, how do you know that they dont have other piles of other brand HIDs? Thats probably country-wide returns, and im sure there are other places that have piles like that of other brands. Im sure that thats also a pile thats collected over a long period of time, so to me, those pictures dont mean much.

well anyway back to the point...anyone interested just pm me, it comes with warranty. Good lookin' out SpoonEM. also it's better seeing the light in person rather than pics. we've been installing these kits on supra's, celica's, M3's, S13's, S14's, CL's, MR2's(very nice beam!), civics, GSXR's etc etc so far no complaints. we just now got 15k...dont know how that one looks though.

I Think Most Of What You See Is Improper Installation.
