I started w/ a pnp kit (w/ 3-year warranty)

One ballast burnt out after 6 months, cost me shipping plus $20 rip-off fee (was pissed)

Got new ballast, did a retrofit, used old ballasts to save $ temporarily

Now, another ballast burnt out. I don't want to spend too much....$100+/- would be ideal for a pair.

 

If your going through all the trouble of paying just on shipping your defective ballast, I'd suggest that you pay a lil more and get a set of OEM ballast instead to save the headaches....or maybe you have a bad ground to cause the ballast to burn out? Check the connections before you make a decision. Good luck.

 

Ehh, I'm pretty sure it's not the ground. They functioned properly and I heard of many other people who had them burn out after about 6 months.

Also, the terrible service is why I'm upgrading the ballasts. I don't want to pay the $200+/- for OEM ones, though.

I'd prefer something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-ORA...ayphotohosting

Anyone know if they are legit?

 

They work great too. Justin is the main guy or is one of the main guys there that does a lot of fabricating and customizing for the Lexus IS300. I own one and I am using there Oracle Halos on my headlights for my IS. I'd say you can go with them and their customer service is great as well.

 

Alright, thanks a lot.
