Be Careful Of Hid Kits

[Alberto]

Hi guys,

Just want to give everyone a word of advice on HID kits.
For those who hv fitted these kits, you might agree with me.

The Korean and Taiwanese kits are simply unreliable.
The bulbs hv a much shorter life compared to Phillips bulbs.
The kits are prone to imtermittent problems such as:

1. Once side refusing to light up.
2. Complete failure to light up
3. One side turning slightly yellowish and failing later on.

Pls stay away from SuperVision kits by Hokomoto. Lots and lots of problems.
That's why they had to switch to using the new Matsushita ballast.
Now, they seem to be focusing on another brand!

If you want peace of mind, get the Japanese brands or those kits that use genuine Phillips ballast and Phillips bulbs.
