Plug & play HID kits?

Does anyone here have any experience with those plug & play HID kits? Thinking of buying a kit for my fogs in yellow. Just wondering if they last or cause any problems. They're going for pretty cheap on ebay for like $40.

Let me know! Thanks.....

Several on this forum have bought from here: http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/Ap...Raptor-HID-Kit

I wouldn't gamble with ebay quality. Buy where others have bought from and have had success.

Thanks for the info, wondering which one do I get? They have single beam, hi/lo beam...confused.

Also, my heated switch button decided not to illuminate this morning. Any suggestions where to get one besides the dealer? Thanks!

Those kits in your link are the same offshore kits that are all over ebay. Truth is, it's hit or miss with kits, ebay or anywhere else. You want quality, reliability? Do a proper retrofit using OE parts.

How did I say anything bad about them? I'm just saying they sell the same stuff you see on ebay Btw, I have used severals kit from both the aforementioned resellers and with fairly good luck but it IS the same stuff sold on ebay in a different wrapping

Decided to go with the DDM tuning kit, yellow fogs. Heard good things about their kits from a few co-workers that have purchased from the past.
