    That appears to be a rip off SCAM. You will not find any HID kits for 19.99.

    I would suggest you see our HID specialist Marcel from Total Lighting Solutions. Marcel has great prices and the BEST Customer Support.

    No modifying for the HID's. Pretty much a plug n play setup.

    Hmmm, shipping is more than the actual product? Interesting - I'll take 5!!

    I would stay away from them, although Andy has this turboed Lawn Mower that might be able to use them for those late night runs through the back yard.

    Actually Ron, those KITS do work. The 19.99 price is correct, he charges 52 for shipping due to ebay robs ya determining your price. The kits come with correct wiring harness just tell him which car you have when you order.

    Um, ok. I just paid like 300+ for lows and fogs lmao. If they do work, I wonder for how long. Hope they are durable for you guys though. bah...I always wondered if these crazy cheap items on ebay were a scam or what...post your pics when they're ready guys. We can do the same...if they look the same...then Stevo's a monkey's uncle haha.

    yea I noticed they were $20 and $50 for shipping. But there is slot of people on ebay doing that with slot of different things. Its because ebay charges so much fees, but they can't charge a fee on the shipping LOL. They just looked to be a good deal IMO for $70.

    I installed them today with Racer X and YoungMedic. They looked eemazing, but when the rig was shut off, the lows would flicker for a few seconds. Some sort of spike to the electrical system? It actually caused the rig to stall 3x when running. Once when I was backing out of the bay at GSM and 2 other times when we were just idling it. WTF? I decided to pull the lows off completely for now until I get this figured out. The last thing I need is to be cruising down the street and have the rig stall on me. I even went over to another local guy (Mr.Incredible on LX Forums) who is an electrical engineer. Initially he thought it was the ballasts, but they installed right up on Racer X's Magnum SRT8 with no issues. Mr. Incredible gave me these upgraded (thicker wiring) harnesses, but that still didn't solve the problem as they have helped on other vehicles. Is our rig that much different than the LXs? To make a long story short, I ordered a 40amp relay off of Ebay as he thinks this will solve the problem. I'll know later this week when I get it and have him help me install it. The guys with '08 Jeeps that have installed this kit have not had issues as they already have projectors and just need to swap the bulbs.

    Actually those kits that hidgate sells are very good kits and he is a legitimate seller. I bought a pair and they work great. I cringe every time I read a post about somebody spending 250+ on a HID setup. My 75 dollar kit works awesome and keeps a lot more money in my pocket. I had the same kit on my old jeep for 50k miles.

    I should have the relay any day. I figured I'd visit Marc on Sunday after we do our brakes, calipers, and rotors Jay.

    The ebay kits are legit. I installed it on my girlfriends car in her low beam and fogs. It has been installed for over a month and no issue. Plus they come with a 2 year warranty. I know tons of guys over on lx and 300cforums who have them. One guy that most of you know is Mr. Incredible. To my knowledge he was the 1st to try them on his car. He had them over a year and they are still working. I also have them in my fogs with no issue. You can't beat $70 shipped and getting the quality of kits costing double.
