Default Close to deciding on HID

Everyone is praising the Philips 6000k HID Kit, i got a quote of 484.00 shipped from that jus4bulbs@yahoo.com guy, is that a good price? I am a college student, so my funds are limited, but I am still leaning towards gettings this kit anyway, but one alternative that i have mentioned was this Hella 6000K HId kit on ebay, for 350 shipped, it includes 2 eagle eye bulbs, ( don't know how good they are), and a third option someone mentioned to me was buy those cheap HID kits unknown brand ballasts, possibly find one on ebay for 200 maybe less?, and then go buy a pair of philips ultinon 6000k bulbs.

i myself really want the philips kit and bulbs, I think i have seen posts of people saying they paid like around 450.00 shipped? So i just want any info on something cheaper than the 484.00

so takin everything into consideration what is the best thing to do? I am going to make a decision this week, really want HIDs asap.

Thanks guys

Andrew

The Philips kits are rare now since the ban hence the price. Have you checked e-bay for Philips kits? They do have some on there from time to time

Ok guys since Philips kits have received lots of positive feedback, I decided to order the Philips HID kit ! Should be receiving them soon. I'll let you guys know how they are.

aznxteddy,

Which of your Lexus' are you putting the HID's into? I just ordered a set for my '00 RX300. Let me know how it turns out for you. I'll do the same once I get mine installed.

I haven't received it yet. UPS shows that it should be here Dec 1st. Hopefully I'll have them installed within a day or two after. Definitely post pics of your install. I'll do the same.

I'm a college student as well, I went with McCulloch HID. They are MUCH cheaper than Philips and are of good quality. I got the 6000K kit as well. I can still get them for a cheap price if you're intrested.

Here, I found the site where it shows tons of pics of the McCulloch HID kit, lots of info and comparison of over HID kits, bulbs, ballasts, etc.
