Default HID Conversion

I'm considering getting HID upgrades. Does the brand make a difference?

Default yeah brand new

most of them look scratched up though, but they are new. I've bought a new kit on ebay before too, and it looked the same way. It's the way they ship them.

Default $320 shipped. used Philips bulbs, used "Advanced Lighting" ballasts and ignitors. rip off

Mother f#cker promised me brand new all Bosch equipment and sends me this "Advanced Lighting" crap. Claims "oh, AL is a division of Bosch".

Don't buy from ProtoColD. he's a real scumbag.
