Best Place to get HID's?

Hi,
I have been buying bulbs from various places to find a decent price, quality and warranty.
Last set I got, one bulb would not quite lock in properly, which of course resulted in hitting a bump at some point and it slightly came out. It started melting the housing etc, I caught it before to much damage. I know this was the problem, cause the bulb on the other side locked in with no issue.
Could this be a one off defect or possibly a manufacturing defect.

I have been looking at Xenonhid.com, Xenonpro.com and Kensun ( although their stuff seems much much cheaper ) I live in The Yukon Canada, so would be a ways for shipping.
I am wanting 35 w ballasts and bulbs, 8000 k. Any one have any other suggestions for quality bulbs that are not too much. Ok paying 60 to 70 a pair. Thanks

 

What are you putting them in? Hopefully not your stock assemblies. 8000k is very blue and much less useful than the standard HID 4300k color temp which gives best performance. 6000k is the standard LED color temp and still a little blue.

 

I have relay harness's etc. I use 8000k because we have dull light in the summer, as in lots of daylight and then winter 7 months of the year. Maybe Ill try 6000k. Its more finding a brand that doesn't just randomly have a bulb that won't lock in or something.

 

6000k would be better than 8000k. But you shouldn’t use them in your OEM headlights as they will scatter and blind other drivers. The correct brands to buy are Genuine Osram and Philips, but they won’t make anything that fits the Tacoma because no reputable brands do, only the cheap China companies do, and they are illegal to run on the street in a halogen assembly. To semi-correctly run HIDs you need a headlight retrofit with an HID projector, where you take the headlight apart ant replace the internal components with those designed for HIDs. For all info on how to upgrade lights in your stock assemblies, see this thread:
