My 2 pennies:
If you want HIDS, you want either HID ballasts(expensive) or projectors, to support the bulb "lensing" of the HID xenon bulbs. I have bought ebay brand HIDS 3 times. 1 time for foglights, still working 1 year strong. 1 time for stock headlights, sold with stock headlights. 1 time for new projectors, still working with a relay tweak. And all three ebay sets cost me a total of 180 dollhairs. all of them together. The only projector lights I found are the ones on my car right now(see sig) and they have halos that I could have done without. Luckily I had the know-how to swap the halo leds out for red ones and now it looks badass. And btw, those projector headlights I have cost me 120 on ebay discounted because of a small factory defect.

220 is on the expensive side. ddmtuning has some good kits for CHEAP (under 100 bucks) for low/highbeam. and you can get some single beams for about 40 for your headlights. install is easy, unless you have no common sense and zero mechanical/electrical knowledge you will be fine.

We have two authorized vendors with us now that used to offer DDM products and felt compelled to change. There were reasons that I will not cite specifically, that made enough of a negative impact with their customer base that forced them to make such a decision. We have no way of knowing if other resellers went in the same direction to realign with other businesses, but there are less outfits offering their kits compared to just 1-2 years ago. Take from that what you will.
