I originally placed my order from Projectimport and cancelled it after getting cold feet. I spent a little more for the Autolamps kit and am very very happy with it. Projectimport uses Hella/phillips ballasts and bulbs but the wiring and relays are from asia, this is what he told me.

Sooooo..... how are the wires from Autolamp? Are they European wiring and relays? What's the big deal on wires?

The relays are BOSCH I believe and includes waterproof/sealed fuseholders, rubber coated leads, and shrink wrap for connections. Also, the connectors that go into the bulbs, ballasts, factory headlamps harnesses, and starter relays have rubber seals to prevent moisture/water from getting in. It is a high quality kit, you get what you pay for. Too many people are selling generic xenon bulbs that come from Taiwan but are stamped Phillips. I KNOW Autolamps kits are not generic or fake !!

hey have u guys heard of Santeca? they also make HID's, and from what i am told the bulb and ballast are waterproof and can be complete submerged underwater. I have a friend who said he can get it for me for under $400 for 6k kit. What do u guys think? i saw their booth at CES and they did have the bulbs on and bright as hell in a fishtank full of water. But some input from u guys would b nice.
