Question Gauging Interest: Becoming HID conversion kit vendor

I am thinking about becoming a vendor and sell HID Conversion kits. Before I did though, I wanted to see if there was enough interest on the forums to do so. The kits I have been looking at come with a digital ballast like most do I believe. Originally I was going to offer the slim ballast only but the guy really suggested to go with the normal ones for car applications since they heat up alot more. I still can get the the slims if that is what everyone really wants though but its $15 more per kit. It also comes with a warranty which is the best part because its a lifetime warranty. It is a plug-n-play application like all the others out there. Feel free to ask any questions. Below I will put an example for the input info I would like to get from everyone.

Ballast (Normal or Slim): Normal
Bulb Type: H1
Color(3000k-12,000k): 10,000K


Update: Pricing will be around $110-$125 depending on ballast. Does this price seem fair? Also, I did find out that the lifetime warranty covers every component in the kit.

HID kits in the foglights are a BAD idea.

It depends on the application. For my car which is an 06 coupe it would replace the "foglight". As far as installation it is a pretty simple DIY. I think the hardest part is removing the liner to get to the back of the light housing.
