The kit is $55 and with shipping mine was $90.99. Took about a 7 business days for both of my orders. Kit price includes 2 bulbs and 2 ballasts, your choice of color temp.

OMG .. it only took you 7 business days .. i took me almost 4 weeks .. My only issue with the VVME kit is thatthe ballast are huge .. Not much room to place the ballast ..Basically, I stuff both the lows and fogs in the bumpers and zip tie them ..with the exception of the driver side lows ..stuck it in between the abs unit ..really nice snug fit .. One good thing about the kit .. no error or check low beam messages

yeah I've heard some horror stories about shipping times. Both of my kits came fairly quick. My horror story is with their customer service, and kit quality, not the shipping time.

now I recall you post .. sorry for the bad luck ..I guess we don't pay for VVME kits for the customer service .. I am hoping mine will last like many others on this board .. if not ..i have learned my lesson ..Good luck and let us know what happens ..

I bought a second set. It was $20 more than getting just 1 bulb and ballast, and now I have a spare bulb and ballast. Even with $180 out of pocket, I am 1/2 the price of the factory valeos, AND I have replacement parts.

What it comes down to is it's a roll of the dice, one lots have taken, and most win. Pay little, expect little. I have an entry in the paypal dispute that they said "no support customer - warranty cost $70 get part. stop callling phone."

My second set is working great. no complaints this round.

I just ordered my kit from VVME's eBay store. $70 shipped instead of $90+ and the boost in feedback! Woot!

Go on eBay, and search for 'vvme' and make sure you select 'search titles and descriptions.'

eBay user 'Flashplus' lists their contact email as 'hid@vvme.com' and all their graphics are the same as the website. Word

I ordered my kit the Wednesday before Christmas and received it the Friday after. With the holiday that is just 6 business days. Not bad at all. $90.99 with shipping. 4300k. Customer service wasn't helpful when USPS missed the first delivery day. But oh well.

I'll let you know how the install goes in my girlfriend's 1998 2.8QM.
