Got mine(10,000k) from Extreme HID's. Looks great and customer service was awesome.
Had some questions and they walked me through it. Even E Mailed me some install photos.
Was $38.00 for my '03 Altima.

I would never buy anything on eBay for a car. You get what you pay for, if you go to a website that sells headlights you'll be able to look up your car and it'll tell you what bulbs you need. Yes you can get kits for under 40 bucks on eBay but regardless of the good luck some people may have had with them I'm 100% sure that getting a more expensive kit with digital ballasts etc is a much better investment and you'll be happy in the long and probably short run that you spent the extra money

This one had digital ballasts. Maybe a mixup on price cause I checked again they were more $$. Not too Much more.

How much do you sell your kits for BigC? I'm debating adding HIDs in for my highs. I've done the fog light mod, so I could potentially have 6 HIDs firing forward at once!

too bad they don't make HID daytime running lights!! Actually if they did, then you wouldn't really need fogs!!

no you can get HIDs for fogs, but you have to get the 35w because even though the regular filament bulbs are 55w, 55w HIDs will definitely melt the fog light assembly

Retro-Solutions offers great HID/CCFL and Retrofit products. However, I'm a bit biased as I have not experienced other providers aside from the crappy eBay bulbs. They are a little pricey ~$145 - $175 but the quality is exceptional. On a different note, one that doesn't really matter, is there packaging is ISO certified plus it comes in a cool aluminum briefcase.

I've had the 55W 6000K installed on my truck for 3 years now and I have not had any problems with them. They are powerful and bright. I did run into a flickering issue once, in which I was able to experience the wonderful customer service offered by Retro-Solutions. However, this issue was due to a cheaper aftermarket headlight housing.

My next HID kit for my new Nissan will be purchased from Retro-Solutions.com. I just spoke with their service rep today to help me with my purchase. I'm going with the 55W 5000K HID Kit w/ relay harness.

Hope this helps, it's always great to have several different offers.
