Default Starkey Products- Anyone done business with them?

I'm looking to convert to HIDs this summer so that for once I can see the road at night and be alerted to road debris ahead of time instead of getting last second notice. I know now after doing a little research that I need a GT light switch/control panel for the cabin and the wiring harness first before I convert the fogs to HIDs as right now my fogs are not hooked up. Starkey Products is offering the wiring harness and switch for $190 which after some good research adding the cost of the switch and wiring harnesses (can't find anyone else who sells it as a kit oddly enough...) that this is a fair price.

Has anyone here done business with these guys before? I need to know about customer service and part quality before I go and purchase the conversion. I googled the business but there's so many "Starkey" names out there that I can't find the business!

Or if there's another place that's more familiar to you all that I could get this kit from for a similar price, I'd appreciate that as well!

Thanks.

Go with retro-solutions...amazing customer service and amazing product! (when you go HIDs, lol)...As far as Starkey, never heard of them. Hopefully someone else has. And they may just be an Ebay vendor. That's a common occurrence so they may not have a company website. This doesn't mean they don't produce quality stuff it may just mean the aren't at a point where they need to market via company website as Ebay is sufficient for them.

After hearing about all the good words about Retro solutions, I'll definitely be going with them when I do the HID conversion.

Starkey looks legit at least by website design/professionalism...

Starkey is legit. I don't have any personal experience with them, but I know that they're the only producer for 2010+ V6 fog lights. If you go to AM's site, their 2010+ V6 fog lights say they're from Starkey.

I have the Starkey Fog lights. All of the parts are quality parts, everything needed was included in the kit, including a new light switch. The instructions were very good, and most of all, they look stock, like they came with the car. I would highly recommend them.

Jason @ Starkey Products is definitely legit and a pleasure to work with. Jason answered emails and phone calls promptly. My GT/CS fog lights and extension harness were shipped quickly and are OEM exactly as described.
