Default HID Upgrade

I was looking at upgrading my HID system. I found a place with good deals. Maybe too good. Besthidkits.com Has any one had any dealings with these guys or have heard any feedback on them?

I haven't heard of anyone's experience with them. Most on here deal with www.vvme.com - around $70 shipped for your kit.

I have bought several kits from CQ Lights http://www.cqlight.ca/ and they have great customer service and will ship replacement parts quickly.

I've purchased several kits for different vehicles and tried vvme for the first time with my audi and will NEVER go through them again. One bulb popped and both ballasts went out within a month. Then im not gonna pay 20 per way to china to get more junk. Always have had good luck with plasma garage, fast shipping, quality product, and they speak English!

Not much in the way of a writeup - they're plug and play. If nothing else, once you get them, lay them in the bay and you'll see.

Thumbs down Avoid VVME at all cost

Good evening everyone:

I posted a couple of threads before with my bad experience in upgrading my H4 Bi-xenon HID kit from VVME. I had a terrible experience with VVME and will NEVER RECOMMEND anyone to buy their junk. The kit failed within one month and you have to pay $20 to them and ship the failed part back to China, what kind of BS is that? I understand that the conversion kit cost me under $100 but still, crap is crap and it would have cost me over $200+ to ship all the crap parts back to the motherland, China. Their 14 months warranty is rubbish and even the rep from VVME admitted to that so back to the basic, you get what you paid for. Go German if you can afford them.
