HID lights upgrade
#2
I've been running some generic HID "Slim" ballasts from VVME.com for over 9 years, no problem. Way cheaper. Their customer service was very good, but you are dealing with someone from China. If there's a problem, shipping will be a bit longer, or just assume that if you are purchasing so cheaply, if there's a problem, you'll just need to re-buy, like a ballast or something.
My friends and I bought a total of 9 kits. Out of the set, one had a bad ballast (out of the 18 total). Not a deal killer, but we were willing to simply get a new one and wait for the shipping. Was worth the cost. With a lot of US sellers, they're just selling importing and putting a premium on the kit. What you're paying for is the convenience of getting a replacement asap.

I have been told that HID bulbs can scorch the outer lens of the bulb housing. It is a cumulative effect over about a year or so. Perhaps you could consider LED bulbs as they are brighter than stock and produce less heat on the housing lens. Just something to think about.
