Default HID Conversion Kit

Surprise surprise...my driver side dim bulb blew out for the 4th time since ive been using HID bulbs. Been using them for 6 months probably, and none of the others ones have died. Just the driver side dim.

My question is whats the best HID conversion kit for the money? I think thats my only choice. I just want to know what you guys might have, and if youve had a good experience with it. Thanks in advance.

you cant have hids with just bulbs.... did you read that article that i put up there??

hids need ballast, bulbs, and ignitors. hids bulbs are a lot more than 20 bucks for 2 bulbs. start reading and researching and stop buying **** from ebay.

HID HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES

HID systems are not just the capsules and ballasts/ignitors. HID systems rely on special headlamp designs to better utilize their light output. This is often the reason that a factory HID upgrade can be over $1,000 -- you are getting different headlamp housings too.


Why is this important? It is important in the context of putting HID capsules in headlamps not designed for them.

Thats a quote right from that link. I have the type R headlight housing. Will that reflect "real" HID bulbs properly?
