Angry Diode Dynamics HID fog light kit

After installing this kit onto my BRZ tonight I cannot recommend it to anyone. The ballasts included in the kit are Hylux 2a88's, the bulbs are a disappointing Cnlight 35w 5202 (cheap Chinese bulb $3 to $10 on Alibaba/AliExpress). I had both light bulbs break a clip off after inserting them into the housing, the quality for the connector was worse than my Amazon chinese LEDs already in there. Also the bulbs are "universal" therefore only have the positive and negative prong you jam into the other connector, you'll have to use tape to keeps these firmly in place or else they will fall out. I could have pieced this together cheaper myself off of Ebay or Amazon, I thought I would be getting a quality product with OEM connectors. Needless to say I won't be purchasing anything else from Diode Dynamics here on out knowing they just source their lights from China like every other Amazon or Ebay kit.

I mean it does say exactly what's in the kit in the description of the product. That was why I decided to go with their LED fog light kit over the HID fog light kit.
