Default Where do you guys buy your HID kits from?

Ive seen a couple of kits on ebay for $189-$250.
Are these Authentic kits or are they garbage?
I did a few searches for hid kits and i really didn't get anything useful.

Thanks, mike

this might get moved. i bought mine from ebay for $120 shipped. yea ebay lol. a lot of guys like to do the retro-fit thing but im putting my money somewhere else so i figured id take a chance on it.

had them for 2 months. works great so far. ive tested it with oncomming traffic ie friends with the same HID kit. its not blinding as far as i can tell and are def a big big improvement on the stock crap lighting.

I couldnt find any forums on lighting or anything and i know this doesnt go into suspension or performance.

i dont know which ones i want. its between 6000k and 6500k. you said you have 6500k? how is the color and is it legal in the state you live in? how are you liking them?

the price diff is huge
the 6000k are $413
the 6500k are $224
