Default TECHONE HID KIT, is it worth it?

i need feedback from someone with personal experience with this kit. i've read that getting plug n play kit's aren't worth it and to retrofit. but you can't beat the price techone sells their kits for. so can someone post some pics if possible and some feedback. thanks.

*what's the average lifetime for most hid kits, before the ballasts or bulbs take a **** on you? so can you also post how long you've been rocking this kit.

Mine's been great!

I'm running the 5000K kit, and I've had no problems with it for about a year now..even after having my engine bay flooded when my body shop lost my damn hood and left my rex out in the rain

haha the only way you'll get a decent cut off line is if you retrofit projectors

these plug-ins leave much to be desired in terms of cut off, but it does the job for me...if you get a plug in, make sure its btween 4300-5000K

okay, i understand that retrofits are the way to go bcuz you get way better visability and less glare. but you know what i dont mind spending around the $200 range for a decent pnp hid kit. let me know your personal opinions of the techone kit!

I installed a set, i don't think they are even individually fused, my old hella kit was fused and direct from the battery.


i think my friend ordered 6000k, and it's pretty decent for 230 buck.
