2) http://www.blindinghid.com/
3) http://www.sharphid.com/
4)http://www.retrosolutionsllc.com/servlet/StoreFront

All we can tell you there is only one of those up there that can actually provide the kit you need to work properly with your lamps. Without bulb capping the light escaping through the top of the bulbs shoots directly into oncoming traffic because most 06 and all 07-10 lamps don't have bulb covers in them.

I looked over the bulb coating that I got from the HIDs that I originally ordered from you, and it seems as if some parts came off. Does my warranty cover for the bulb caps? Would I need to send my bulbs back to you for that?

Hands down, Retro-Solutions. Easy install, great quality backed up by a lifetime warranty. Difference is night & day from stock.

And without any bulb capping you are blinding everyone in front of you... there is really no two ways about it when the lamps do not have any bulb covers in them.

It can be covered under warranty as long as it is not scraped off. Also, instead of the bulb coating application we offer a bulb capping now. The capping is faster, can't be scrapped off by accident, and has the same function.
