    What HID offers a lifetime warranty and is pretty nice? I've had a brand called "maxcar" and they where garbage!

    ddmtuning has a lifetime warranty i think but i heard they are a pain in the ass to get a hold of so it might be kind of hard getting a replacement bulb/ballast. ive heard they have pretty good kits though

    Anything above 15000k will be the best.

    They can be hard to get ahold of cause their hours are stupid, but they will honor their warranty everytime and replace anything that stops working for free. I have a kit from them and haven't had any problems.

    Keep in mind they sell their kits cheaper, because they aren't as high of quality as kits like slimchubby. More expensive = better quality (obviously)

    Do a retrofit or don't drive on public roads. HIDs in halogen housings are wack.

    Most of the cheap kits are generally of the same low quality so just look for best warranty. Or go and buy some higher quality stuff for a little more money.

    Slimcubby's kits seem to hold up very well so I wouldn't put that kind of blanket statement on the group buy kits...
