Well I am glad that I found this thread. Was just getting ready to buy some lights from them during their valentine's day special but now I think I will hold off and maybe look elsewhere.

I bought some and they work just great! You will only hear about the bad ones and you have heard from about 4 people. What about the probably thousands that have bought them and they work?

I bought two of their kits (heads and fogs) back in november. Within a couple of weeks, one of the ballast stopped working. Sent it back and got a new one after 3 weeks and $7 shipping. The new one lasted about 20 minutes before it went out and now i have another one of the originals that has gone out. Too much time and trouble to send all of these back every time.

Besides the constant flickering issues and always having to turn the lights on-off-on to get the driveside to fire up, they're ok......

a "good" company will send you things quick and send you return labels so your not stuck paying for their screw ups, i cant believe their customer service. you know they get these kits from japan for probaly 10 bucks a piece if that

can someone name drop some reputable companies, i know there was a guy on here like a year ago who put the research and testing into making ram specific headlight and fog light kits, i just dont know where he went. but i must say this is the 3rd company i've used for HIDs and the 3rd time ive had parts not work, its a little ridiculous

I bought a set off ebay for $25 that have been working flawlessly for almost a year. One is just now starting to flicker, but I think that has to do with the canceler thingy.

I bought mine from Twiggy. I prefer to support local businesses since he was only 30 minutes from me.
