well last year i had to replace my HID's that i bought from a vendor on here about 4 years ago from a local shop who used cheap ballasts (went through 3 in the last year) and i keep reading alot of issues with HID Extra....so i'm curious whom everyone is purchasing their's through that is QUALITY and going to last quite a while?

thanks in advance

 

I bought some off ebay about three years ago and still working perfectly

 

meng, ddm , or morimoto

 

I got mine off Carid

 

I've been through a few sets from hidextra. Great price but always seem to have issues after a while 2 sets of highs and lows *technically 3 but the 3rd set was from an accident*. And their method for "warranty replacements" is a pain. I'm back to good quality stock bulbs

I have purchased 7 sets from HIDxtra and haven't any troubles. Great Xmas gifts on the black Friday sale where all of them have been purchased .

 

I've had 3 HID extra kits on my car, no problems, switched from 05 heads to 08s then from 5k to 6k. No problems whatsoever and like kanchi said, if you catch em on a sale, you get an amazing price, i think black friday had the kits at $29.99.

 

that's for the responses. i ended up orderign a set from ddm yesterday (thank god the ballasts have gotten a lot smaller since about 4 years ago

 

Is the Meng v2 kit a good kit for an 2008? Easy to install?

 

As long as you get the right bulb size, yes. And yes.

 

Thanks for the reply. What about glare or blinding other drivers or whatnot I was reading about in another thread due to the 08 headlight housing? With regards to it being a projector light or something? (not very good with cars, my tC is first car i've attempted to do some mods to). Thank you

 

I have had HIDs in both the 05-07 headlights and the 08+ headlights. The 08+ headlights, by far, have much less glare. The cutoff is decent with them and the squirrel finders aren't terrible for other drivers to deal with. As long as the other drivers aren't staring into your headlights they will be fine.

 

ddm, for sure. My kit has been rock solid through 100+f temps, ice storms, and horrendous downpours for over 2 years. Not a single problem.

 

DDM

 

DDM, have like 5 months now. nothing wrong with them, double sided tape is still sticking.

 

i ended up buying ddm's a few days after posting this and definately love em. can't beat em for the price

 

So for that DDM Kit just get the 40$ kit and the H11 bulb (2008 tc) and good to go? Do I need any of the other things it gives you option to purchase like error eliminator and whatever else..

 

nope you should be good. if you get the 55w one i would then get that extra wiring kit but that'd be it

 

yep, your good to go with just the HID kit. double sided tape is what i used to hold them in. like i said in my other post like 6 months and tape is still there holding the ballast.
