Default HID kit?

For when I get my FLHX, has anyone used the HID kit on ebay?

I've hear the ebay HID kits are junk. I bought the HID kit from www.ddmtuning.com for $75.00 shipped. Lifetime warranty. Nice kit! I got the 55 watt upgrade with a 8000 bulb. They said with the extra watts the 8000 bulb burns as white as the 6000. You can get the 35 watt with the 6000 bulb for $7.50 less. Check it out.

It is $44 Plus shipping and Tax and upgraded 55 watt ballast. That came to $75. You need to run a battery positive and negative, other than that it is plug and play. Very bright!

Whatever happened to this outfit?

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...ycle-hids.html

There were a couple of positive reviews at the time, but from the original thread referenced in the first post, you can see that the seller was banned for some reason.

I installed HID lights in my car about a year and a half ago. I put them in the high beam, low beam, and fog lights. One of the low beam bulbs burned out after about 8 months or so. they now have Silverstars in them. The high beam and fogs still have the HIDs in them but don't get anywhere near the use of the low beam bulbs. I bought them on ebay.
