it's not always the site, but what brand you buy that you should be worried about.
where many hate, few will love,
But for those who love,
they'll see what it's like to live.

Search feature doesn't work for you??
This has been talked about many times.
Just read through the previous threads.
It's almost like we have to make sub-section of the topics under the main sections...

^^I've purchased about 5 or 6 kits from Mark and all have had no problems....

I have 2 sets in my xB... Had 1 in my Solara and even some have put into my GF's dad car, GF Brothers car and other ppl that we know...

Can't go wrong with those prices as well.

there isnt much... but just make sure that the ballast support at least 3200 lumens.. it will say in the description... also, if you are looking for the OE type colors, go with 5-6000k bulbs.
make sure the bulbs are good for at least 3 thousand hours.
not all kits are really plug and play. no way to look into that really without already owning a kit. none of them are hard to install tho. fairly simple 30 mins.. good luck
