Default Hid help???

I have read so many posts on here about HID's and what to look for with wires and relays, and don't buy this buy these, but all these posts are from companies selling their products.

I really want to hear who has bought where and if they are happy with their hid's?

I ask since I am nervous to buy $80 hid kits off of ebay, but at the same time if I can get the same kit without the special "Brand Name" sticker on the ballast for $50 less then on here, why should I over pay???

Let's try not to bash any company on here just trying to educate myself and maybe spend a little less if possible

thanks
Scott

I bought from Oznium over a year ago with no problems. They also have a good warranty and customer service.

I bought mine from Operatic here on SL and haven't had any problems. He ships fast- FedEx- and is really helpful if there are any probs. I didn't have any but his cust serv is evidenced on the thread.

Operatic is the man to go to on these. I got mine from him as well. Couldn't be happier with them. No problems.
