Like a retrofit kit for projector housings? Morimoto?

Ebay. $35 kits. When they fail, just buy another one.
And yes, Morimoto for the projectors to do it right. HIDs in halogen housings are about as ricer as Terminator wings and stick-on chrome fender vents.

Morimoto has great products. Also go to retrosolutionsllc.com they have great products to. I use their economy kit and it gives me at least 2 years service life, sometimes more.

www.retrofitsource.com is a good place to buy morimoto.

And ddm is another brand that's cheap, I have had bad experiences with them. But if you want cheap, then go with them.

I recently tried VVMEs for my 6" Hella lights and they are built like a tank, you can search and find plenty of videos comparing their ballasts to others like DDM.

I would say DDM but the fact you have to wait like 3 weeks for them to ship is a deal breaker.

[lilb_1979]

I also would have said DDM, BUT my last 2 sets I've got from them haven't been the same quality that they use to known for. I will no longer use them. There is a good HID store that is local that sells awesome quality ones I will now take my business too.
Good luck on finding somewhere

Bingo.

Another vouch www.theretrofitsource.com and Morimoto products, you'll pay the price but you can't argue the quality. I've purchased 3k and 5k kits from DDM and both were cheaply made and off-color. The 3k came out like a yellowish green and 5k slightly blue when it's supposed to be completely white.

buy the retrofit kit from here.

buy the hid kit from here: xtremeHIDS.com

got kits from BOTH sites. loved the products. got an HID kit from the site above and NEVER had an issue. never needed to replace a ballast or bulb. even after 4yrs.

[deevergote]

Man, I still remember the days when an HID kit was like $500... and projector retrofits weren't even considered!

[Stoner51]

I think this is one of the things in my future as our light output sucks. And the older I get, Past 40 the harder it is for me to see at night.
I will get 2 new headlights from Rockauto about $95 and the morimoto H1 kit, with the mini gatlin shroud $280. If you wait till around november black friday and subscribe to their email(retrofitsource) Last year they offered a 20% discount. Why didn't I do that? Who the hell knows.

haha. no need for new headlights unless yours are really bad.

[deevergote]

The only reason to get new headlights is to do a retrofit with no downtime. Or if you're anal like me, and you hate to modify original parts!

Deeve hit it No Downtime. That is important if your car is your DD.


And some of the HID bulbs run $90 a piece at retorfitsource,maybe its a pair? anyway they are expensive. They are osram or phillips something like that. They are a lot more than the standard bulbs which hikes up the cost of the kit. All this shit I do to my car takes time. Time is money. You pay for it on the front end or labor on the back end doing it again.
