Message	so with the condensation problem behind me I decided to go ahead and install my new HID kit, VERY happy with results, Now I try to never buy anything from ebay but found this kit there for about $180 shipped, 3 day shipping was crazy fast, ordered it last friday night and it was here from china this morning, I researched the seller pretty good, he had 280 positive feedbacks on the hid system he sells, I emailed a few people and everyone was very happy with the product so I decided to try it, and I'm very happy with it, came with 1yr warranty on ballast and bulbs, but at $180 I'll just buy a new one every year if I have too....anyway I opted for the 4300k kit... my camera sucks just so you know... seemed to be good quality.... HID on the left, silverstar on right my ballast location kit fully installed.... these pics do no justice to the actual color and brightness of the light, I have noticed signs I have never seen before, much more pleasing light, well worth the money, no I need to figure out what to do with my foglights, I removed the center reflector a few months back and they are way too bright compaired to the hids, really mess it all up, thinking about trying to paint the inside housing black but any ideas welcomed, the link to the kit [ http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8048909324&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT ] src="http://www.photodump.com/direct/gillarockus/P4130013343.jpg"> Favorite Quote.....
