A good brand of HIDs is SEARCH... but they''re a bit price, set you back about $SEARCH!

Use my sig if you have to or click "Today''s Posts" in the top right of the site. Browse through the pages and you''ll find a ton of info.

I had my McCulloch set in my suburban for a year and a half, then I totaled the car. I took the same set put it in my accord, the bulbs lasted another 6 months than I had to replace them. The ballasts and new bulbs are still going strong. So McCulloch has proven itself to me.

Yes it is, and if its a no name brand than the ballast will burn out faster too! There''s a lot of cheap made in china junk on ebay.

If you have the money, spend at least $100 on your HIDs. If your bulb or ballast fails on the road (or both, oh my!) what are you going to do? No run-of-the-mill Wally World or Target or Autozone sells HID bulbs or ballasts. If you want to buy cheap parts, at least wire them up so you can go back to stock halogens if need be.
