Default HID from WHO??

Hey guys.
Quick question...
Why the HUGE price difference on HID kits between lltek, ecs and vvme??
I'm looking into buying a set soon, especialy since their only $56 from vvme.
Is their a quality difference between the companies or is it that ecs and lltek just like to rip people off?
Also, does the vvme HID kit come wired up for city light (w5w) use??? Or is it just high and low beam wiring? (I wanna keep my city lights!!)

For your information my headlights are DEPO E-code, HID ready.
Any info, especialy poeple that have bought vvme HID's, would be great!
Thanks.

Your car has a low and high beam bulb. So your HID kit will plug into into the low beam. I guess that would be your city lights?

Yea. Gonna have to check them out on ebay then. I'm not in any rush, just once I get some spare cash i'll probly buy them then.
For the price of the kit from vvme, you can't realy go wrong compared to lltek. My main wonder is the wireing on them.

Nah, I have a H7 high and a H7 low and a W5Wcity light. Im just wondering if the kit is wiredfor 3 lights (low, high and city light) or just 2 lights(high and low)?

any hid kit is just low beam, no need for hid high beam
and hid city lights isnt even possible.. if you want to make them brighter convert them to led's
the kit is plug and play, no wiring make sure you know if your headlights are h7 or d2s... since they are hid ready they may be d2s

"city lights" are like the parking lights we have here in the us, they were only used on european cars, they should function the same way out parking lights do, by turning the headlight switch to the first position

thanks both. that expalins it all now except how the hell do you power up the fogs with HID?? do i have to change the bulbs in the fogs aswell?? because i have cheap'o aftermarket fog lights at the moment....
i was thinking that the ballast powers up all the lights in a housing, but i could only see 2 bulbs in the kits lol.

you have to buy a kit for each set of lights you want to convert to hid
if you want hid low and fogs.... then you need two kits, the ballast will not power more then one bulb each
