I got this kit from ZZp http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_p...=617&catid=101

took about an hour because i didnt really know what i was doing. i t was a direct plug and play kit. i had no problems with it at all. they where for my low beams.

here is a picture of where i installed the ballast. i just drilled two mounting holes and then bolted the ballast down into them.



Then i decided to get a kit off ebay for alot cheaper and had nothing but problems with it. Would always be blowing fuses it takes for ever for the bulbs to warm up and actual produce light.

i just would say go with a name brand on this one.

hey kidspace thanks for links they did help out alot I did do a little more research carhidkits.com looks ok I also found planethid.com they look legit and reasonably cheap that seems to be my problem I do wanna go name brand but when it comes to this stuff I dont what is considered name brand name as 2000_black_ss said i really do think that is the way to go. but again to me 70 bucks seems kinda cheap for a kit like this so id like to go name brand and decently priced maybe space you could take a look at planethid and let me know what you think maybe ?


and thanks to everyone for their feed back its nice to be able to come here and get some help when no one I know knows the answer.
