Default Another HID question

Has anyone had any trouble with this particular HID kit? I've read quite a few of the post and most refer to MOBILHID but haven't heard much about this particular one. It does seem to include the relay that most have indicated why you shouldn't buy the "cheap" brands off of ebay. Any feedback good or bad would be nice.

i dunno but for an extra $30 you can get it from a place which is highly recommended around here.

Yeah, pay the extra $30 and know your getting a quality kit. MobileHID's kits are build very well and are the HID kit of choice here. Dont buy a cheaper kit just because it is, get a kit you know will do well. Plus, Cliff offers some of the best customer service and if in stock, extremely fast shipping.

+2 for MobileHID.

relay is just another another set of wiring you can add that in with any other HID Kit in the Market today.

Did you have any problem with the install and have you had any issues with them cutting out or flickering? Thanks.

xenonexpert.com is a sponsor back on my previous Mazda 3 forums where I'm still a staff member. He's pretty much the MobileHID of their forum.

That being said however, I've bought from both... and I personally would recommend MobileHID over Xenon Expert. Clifford is awesome to deal with & really brings a very personal touch to his business.

X2..You want an engligh muffin? He will literally fly to you and hand you a toasted english muffin with jam

Cliff is gonna kill me now. As for mounting his ballasts 'out of the way' I say this...do you see a ballast?



there are several places to hide the ballasts which MobileHID uses, just plan your install and do it clean or do it ghetto like this tool

well if quality isn't too much a concern, ebay... haha, but i dont think they're that bad... for how bright they are, can't get those results from a 35 watter- and its still taking up less power than stock
