Has anyone tried or heard anything about these?

there's alot of cheap kits going ranging from £55-90 on eBay, seems a bit cheap but alot of them have warranties and are so and so tested etc..

just wondered if they were actually any good?

tbh with you, i wouldnt touch anything like that on ebay. Buying from HIDS4U par example means youve got a warranty you can rely on.

Ive had 3 new ballasts now due to a continued fault in one of my headlamps and the service is excellent every time

If i was going to do it again, id again make sure its a reputable company which I can get on the phone if anything was to go wrong.

Hope this helps.

yeh i was thinking that, it was just that alot of them were offering 12-18 month warranties, and the feedback all looked pretty good.

Obviously feedback doesnt tell you what happens 6 months down the line tho!!
