Default Best place to get HID kit?

I am looking to buy a HID conversion kit for my b6 a4 and I've come upon a few places to buy them from. I really don't want to get screwed by some crappy product.

http://www.vvme.com/product/detail-20023.html

$97 for the kit, 14 month warranty. I have no idea how good/bad this kit is...it's so damn cheap

http://www.visionbulbs.com/vb_product.php

$199 (after coupon), lifetime warranty. Twice as expensive...

Have any of you guys have experience with either company/product? Can you recommend anything else?

Thanks!

I've heard of a guy having to get some warranty out of VVME.com and he had to ship it over to china/hong kong. cost damn near the cost of the kit to get it to them. Visionbulbs.com is in Pickering Ontario Canada. I recently made a purchase through visionbulbs and I accidentally clicked on the wrong size bulbs. I ordered the silver extremes to replace my turn signals. I've been trying for a week with several emails to get a hold of them. so I guess they both have shitty customer service.

have not delt with VVME but they do have some very competitive prices.. for that low of a price i might just try them out and convert my fogs to HID

yes, but ideally only if you have a 99.5 or newer A4. the newer cars have the one piece projector-style headlights, they focus the beam of light on the road better. you can use HID's on 99 and older headlight housings, and many people here have and do. you won't have as good of results with the older housings though, as the light will scatter a bit and not be focused on the road as well. you'll also blind people more with the older housings if you don't aim them down and to the right.
