Message	I listened to everyone that said "all HID kits are the same Chinese junk" so I ordered some $30 ebay HIDs. The ballasts and harnesses and bulbs all look ok, but when installed the bulbs marked "4300k" look more greenish, and the light is noticeably broken into multiple blue/yellow scattered beams that make it appear green. It's junk. I'm not sure if I just got a bad kit, but I can say for a fact that not all HIDs available on the market are created equal. I intended to contact Charles about some Kaixens (since they've been the best HIDs I've owned so car) up until I read this so thanks for your research and you can rest in your decision to purchase a quality kit. Let us know if you have any issues with your order. Cheers, JBrobst
