    Spec D headlights (garbage, Do not buy) replaced bulb with H7 80W Osram Off Road bulb so I could actually see. The lights they send do not put off any light at all and it's impossible to see anything at night... TOYO Open County AT III's (smooth ride, not loud) with Matte Black 17-In. TRD PRO Wheels Plasti dipped emblems and Bull Bar (Lasted about 2 years, need to spray them again)
    my passenger HID headlight went out tonite... Third set of bulbs I've replaced in about a year... something's gotta be wrong! thinking it may just be the cheap chinese parts I buy on ebay... anyone got a group rate or know a reputable place to buy a new set??! need 55w 9003 6000k or maybe 8000k... maybe swap out my hella black magic 500's for HID's while I'm at it... the more light the better!!!

    Ya I wouldn't even go 6000. Anything other than 4300 (OEM HID color) or 5000k (Pure white) is just an attempt to replicate the cutoff flicker of a projector system. You lose a lot of light and massive amount of color rendering doing so.

    5k is pretty much the max you should run. I made the mistake of running 6k. Doesn't work well in the rain.

    after harassing these people for the past week on their on line live chat, i finally got my refund this morning. the package arrived at their place 2-10. 12 days to get their head out and do the refund. honestly, stay away from this outfit.

    i purchased 2 HID kits, one for the headlights and the other for the foglamps. the headlights work well but the one for the foglamps did not fit. i realized that they sent me a different bulb size which had different guides so it would not fit in the slots. after several attempts to contact them i finally got through and spoke to a person named john who told me he was the manager, i told him my problem and he started telling me that i didn't know what i was doing. he wanted me to shave the guides in the bulb so they would fit and refused to entertain any return/refund.

    this is the same company as AUTOPARTSPRO and they are located in canada. try returning your damage item there and it will cost you at least $20 or more. this was their error, and they refused to give me a refund, what more if you are claiming for warranty 1 year from now.

    AS I WROTE, THEY WERE NOT COOPERATIVE AT ALL. as mentioned, i finally sent it back to new jersey where it was sent from. then played the game getting the refund. i thought i was going to have to start a complaint with paypal to get this settled. they are definitely a bas company to do biz with

    I had the same bad experience. I ordered an HI-LO HID kit and one bulb doesn’t work so I called and emailed few times with no response. Finally after several attempts online chat I reached a person named John. Took him almost 15mins just to type one sentence and another 15 to 20mins to reply..gone into almost an hr to finally got him to say “ I will ship a new bulb right now and should be there a week” Waited for two weeks and still no package.. now I am back trying to reach them for the status update. Highly not recommended
