Message	Guys, Add me to the list of satisfied ebay HID users. I ordered a kit from user "rz199671" on ebay for under $100 shipped and the kit was delivered within two days. They look great and are a *lot* brighter than the Silverstars I had previously. I chose for the 4300K. Here are some pics. A mounting bracket is included which is one of the reasons why I went with this kit. Here's the bracket installed. I had to drill one hole. And the ballast securely mounted. Comparison in day light. Driver side = HID. Passenger side = Silverstar. Comparison from a height of ~1 foot. The camera is in front of the passenger light but still the driver side is way brighter. HIDs on both sides. They look better in reality. Significantly better lighting. Driving in the night is so much fun again. Thanks.
