Default Where to order HID's from...

I know that Autolamps is for sure legit and quality, Rominl has a source who doesnt have any more HID's Kit, and I found Projectimport.com who has the kit for a 100 cheaper then Autolamps. Has anyone dealt with Projectimport or should I order from Autolamps?

What do you mean by color fades? Does it turn more yellow? Explain please.

Did you return it to the dealer? More details please.

acutally not in my case. I got the mcculluch 5300k. after about 6 months 1 burnt out and i got a replacement. exactly like the other side. the newer one was a bit more blue. and the older one turned into a white color and didn't look as bright and didn't light up as much as the new bulb.

Have you seen this?

link deleted

Its the whole nine...like what I got but a little more. For those not willing to go the extra length to put together an HID package...here's the real deal. Its from an Audi A6.


*** Ohh sorry...I didn't realize the post before mine. Guys check this out only if the set above this one isn't available.
Mike

I would advise everyone to stay away from ProjectImport.com. They use cheapy bulbs, K2, manufactured in Asia. Poor reliability, short lifespans.Their Hella kit is misleading because all it states is Hella HID Conversion Kits and 7500K. Well the ballast may be Hella, but the bulbs, the important piece, are most definitely not. So the bulb make is left completely unknown. I wouldn't even shoot an email over to ask who makes the bulbs because they most likely don't know themselves and will make something up. Many lighting vendors out there don't even know the product they carry, which is another sure sign to steer clear. Not only that, but they only offer 6000K to 12000K kits, none of which are made of acceptable quality. I would stay away from any vendor that does not even offer 4100K HIDs in their catalog. That is the call sign of a trendy shop that will just sell whatever sells without maintaining professional integrity in their product line. Shop there at your own risk...

And the pics of their kit is here:

Ive decided when I go down the HID path to just go with autolamps....
