I've heard nothing but bad things about them bro. Sell it for 300 then take the loot and head over to www.hidplanet.com and pickup one of their retrofit kits so you can have OEM HID components and get a quality retrofit. You'll have the real thing the first time around and eliminate all the headaches the Mucculloch kits bring

close friend of mine bought a set of these HID's. Ballast went dead after 6 months. It sux because you can't interchange ballasts. You have to use their set brand.

in general, i've heard a bunch of stories about these too. NONE were praising these HID's.

McCulloch no longer officially/legally operates in both United States AND Canada.



why would you buy expensive electronics knowing you can't have any backup warranty?
