Best Brand for HIDs

What is a good brand to get an HID kit? If so, where can I find it?

Re: Best Brand for HIDs

Go with an OEM, Bosch, Hella, Phillips, Denso etc. Avoid aftermarket china brands, they're all crap.

McCulloch I believe thats what they are called they are pricey but the quality is exceptional, I think they even beat most of the OEM stuff out there.

McCulloh is another junk China brand, you can find their kits on eBay for $100.

There is simply nothing better than the OEM brands, they are what all of the aftermarket brands attempt to copy.

If anything from the aftermarket was really better, then they would be an OEM supplier.

Please bro find me McCulloh HID kits anywhere for 100$ because I was looking to get some two or three months ago and I couldn't find anything under 300$ so if you are saying you can get them for a 100$ please do so.

OEM HIDs are a pin in the ass to hook up because their plugs that connect to their ballasts. I have done a few HID kits that use OEM stuff and i can say i don't want to mess with them ever again. My cheap ass china stuff was just as good as the OEM stuff, Alum case shock, water, dust, vibration dust proof and there are no issues yet with flickering or anything that is usually a common problem with cheap HID kits.

So if you can justify spending 400-500$ on an OEM kit when you can get one for 150$ that is just as good then please be my guest.

HID kits were priced at 400-500$ when they first came out and since then they have dropped in price way down.

Just for your info, I've been messing with HIDs for a long time and I've had OEM ballasts go out as well as bulbs and I haven't had any of the cheap stuff go out on me yet considering that I have put more hours on them than any of the OEM ones that I've used.

LOL... was reading the site... came across this in regards to their HID kit:

"Remember, keep your stock bulbs on hand. Our special bulbs are only sold for use at car shows and on non-public roads. The use of after-market HID headlights on public roads is illegal. Basically, they're just too cool for normal use."
