i bought an kit on ebay for about $100 including shipping after winning the auction. it was shipped straight out of guangzhou, china to hong kong and then to my house in a week. i've had this kit for six months with no problems thus far. my friend with a mazda 3 bought a set too.

i've heard some people going as low as $77 on ebay but you gotta look for the sellers with high ratings and do wholesale auctions.

Yea I got one from ebay to, and I had it for only about a couple or months or so and the ballast and the bulb when out on it or something and I dont know what the problem is so I looked at getting a replacment ballast and bulb, but it is almost as much as getting a new set

check ur connections first, i thought i had a problem w/ a bulb or ballast, and it turned out it was a relay, it saved me major $$$, so just check ur wiring, relays, and connections.

I bought something similar. Had their "President of North American" on the front. Had the worst english ever but at least the pictures were good. I've had mine since late last summer. Sometimes I notice a little flickering while they're on but no one else notices. Overall I'm very pleased with them, I expected them to last maybe a year so I got more than I bargained for.

Man I just wish I didnt have hid problems...this blows lol and I just cant figure out what the problem would be, I think that it was just a crappy kit and the ballast or something like that blew out.

I would not try my luck with the ebay kits. They have a reputation of failure.
