Default Best place to get HID Headlights?

I did a search but only found one vendor that sells a kit and that was R&J Distributing | Welcome To R&J's VIPER World. I believe they are asking $299 for the headlights and $579 for the headlights and fog lights. Is there another source for a good quality HID kit? I don't want to sound cheap but I would like to get a set for under $400.

If install took 5 seconds, then it must be new bulbs and not an HID setup. Am I wrong?

Wholesale-hids on Ebay.....160.00 for fogs and low beams shipped ballists and all.....They look as good as any others I have seen...they do take a few hours to install though..I have the 6ks and they are bright as hell..Blueish tint but not to ricey blue...9005 and H3 if you have a gen 2...If I had to install another set I could probably do it in an hour after the learning curve...I will be posting pics of my Ebay specials next week for those who doubt...Al

No they are the real deal. Ballasts and all. Robzilla paid a couple hundred and had to cut wires and run wires all over, mine just went with the stock wiring. It was only for the headlights. You can get the same kit for the fog lights, just a diff bulb...

Here is a pic... HIDs and clear side markers with LED.





They work great. Everything fit inside the headlamp housing also. I am going to do my fogs next. I dont see why someone would spend hundreds on them when these look the same and work the same. You cannot tell the diff between them and Robzilla's RT when they are right next to eachother.

No problem. You will not be dissapointed. I love how they look. The 8000K are the ones I have not to blue. Just right.

Well....I just ordered headlights and fogs from them on ebay. So we'll see how they are. Where they make there money is in the shipping. Its $49 per item! So it cost me 89 to ship......but my total was 136. That price is amazing for fogs AND headlights, so we'll see. Ifound a buy it now auction for 24.99 a set. You specify what bulb type you want after the auction, so the title doesnt reallty matter what car it describes.....

Ill keep you updated.

I was told by the site admin. that only site sponsors sell HIDs for these cars and that's the way we like it

mentioning that there are others out there it blasphemy and will not be tolerated, period
