What you got was a $35 HID kit except you paid a lot more for it.
If paying more for something makes you feel better that is great for you but for the rest of us it does not make much sense.

I have used the cheap $35 kits in at least 3 motorcycles and 5 cars, they all worked great.

X2! If your not spending 500 dollars plus on an HID kit you are getting the same "Made in China" HID's. Companies get rich off of people who think "more expensive, must be better." That is not always the case.

I too have probably used 5x Ebay HID kits in various applications. I have never once had an issue.

I haven't tried putting in 8000k HIDS for my high beams to see how bright it really is. It could help some, or it couldn't. Depends on what you personally want to do. Remember, it's your car, do what YOU want to do to it. The 8000k puts a "white-ish blue" light onto the road and it's pretty good at night.
Also remember that in most states the law referring to headlights is; the lights must emit white light only. I am a LEO and I do issue citations for persons running deep blue and purple headlights. Make sure you know the law in your state

A year or so ago I put an HID kit in a Nissan Titan that I had.
Since the truck was blue with all blue leds inside of it I thought I would try out some blueish HIDs

So I bought and installed a 10k kit

I went that night to drive to the closest store to my house, well I got pulled over. Yes on the very first trip with my Blueish headlights I was pulled over.

So ordered the correct 6k white bulbs and never had a problem with Johnny Law again.
