I was looking for something else and came across these. I know that there have been several post about conversion kits.
I also have been told that they are cheaper on ebay.

Hello,
Just some things to consider when purchasing an aftermarket HID kit:
1) A warranty is only good should the company you purchase the product from honours it and/or stays in business.
2) Time/money spent uninstalling/installing the kit should something go wrong.
4) Waterproof is a major issue. The ballasts are going to be exposed to elements while being in your engine bay. Moisture will damage a ballast and cause it to burn out. If a ballast is not epoxy sealed and water tight it will go out sooner than later.
5) Should you require any sort of after sales service/support, how accessible is the merchant to help you with your problem?
sorry... I've seen this happen time and time again. People buy a cheap lighting kit only having to pay a fortune in replacement components and shipping costs. This is definitely not always the case however ultimately, buyer beware.

Imo, the Harbor Freight stuff is the kind of tool that you buy and throw away when finished (well, almost). The few items I have seen are Chinese made, poor quality tools that work marginally well, but are an obvious knock-off of other tools. I don't know about their electrical products but that price seems too low to be even worth considering.
Just my two cents.
