I don't know how reputable they are, they're banned in other forums and their business looks to be for sale.

I assume the OP already had OEM HID right?
So the hid 'Kit" is just a drop in deal?

Jacksonvp got me into the LED world. I bought all of the interior and some exterior LEDS from V-LEDS. They are beyond remarkable! The only ones that so far burned out is the one for the city lights. Those are no bueno. So I ended up buying the LEDS from ebay from wardenjp.

During the day, do the HIDs go on for DRL or did you disable?
