HID source in GTA

Thinking of doing the conversion. Anyone suggest a good place to buy in GTA?

Great prices online from US but after Customs adds inspection fee plus 13% on top of vendors shipping costs the savings is negated.

Reliability always important!

Ordered from retrofit source online, didn't get charged customs. Always try to ship USPS when possible. UPS, FedEx etc guarantee you'll get charged customs AND brokerage fee. And ask vendor to mark as gift and to fudge the value.

Thanks for the suggestions. Been purchasing lots and lots of parts from US vendors for years for my pinball machines. Customs inspections can be quite random. Once you think you have them figured out they surprise you.
