Xentec HID for the newbie
I bought a car with Xentec HID already installed by the last owner. The system is no more than 3 years old.
1. Is this a good brand, meaning reliable?
2. How long can I expect it to last?
3. If it goes bad, most likely it would be the ballast you think?
4. Is it easy to convert it back to OEM halogen?

-never used them, always see them on ebay
2. How long can I expect it to last?
-no idea

-ive had more bulbs go bad then the balasts
4. Is it easy to convert it back to OEM halogen?
- super easy, remove the hid bulb, balast and hid wire harness, and put halogen bulb back in

I've had the super slim credit card size on my 98 accord for the last 5 years. So far I have replaced the bulbs once and the car is driven on dirt roads most of the times. Overall decent brand well worth the money.

For junk, they would be the name brand of junk! All plug n play hid are garbage and should be illegal... Oh that's right they are illegal!!!
