The new Diode Dynamics HID conversion kit costs $200.00 and comes with a full 3 year warranty.

http://www.hidkitspro.com/low-beams-...ion-fr-s-2013/

The HIDKitPro brand sells the conversion kit for $119.98 and comes with a full lifetime warranty.

If you already purchased, what are your experiences with the brand you chose?
If you have not yet purchased, which one would you buy and why?

A lot of people on here like Diode Dynamics, plus they are a vendor. I myself went with HID_Powerhouse and couldn't be happier.

Sort of off topic. But is there an opinion on Bi-Xenon kits from any of the 3 vendors mentioned in this thread?

I've seen em on ebay from $40 all the way up to $200.

I'm gonna be doing away with the HIGH beam spot in my headlights when I open them up so Bi-Xenon seems to be the way to go to get both High AND Low beams. But I'm very new to HiD's so just looking for any advice.

Sorry for the sort-of thread jack.

I find the DiodeDynamics team to be very customer-oriented, but I've never personally dealt with HIDKitsPro. The warranty alone might be worth it to go with the other one, but I'm a DD fan.

i found ebay have all the same led they carry for cheaper price. i am so happy with that.

I can't speak to the products you're asking about, but Diode Dynamics makes high quality stuff that they back with excellent customer service.

The hidkitspro.com conversion kit just dropped in price to $99.98. I could not wait, so I purchased it. I'll report back with pictures and a quick review (not experienced so don't expect me to go in depth lol).

I'll probably purchase the Diode Dynamics DRL LED lights and the fog light kit too.

Thanks for your input.

This is a little embarrassing, but I want to make sure others don't make the same mistake.

Do Not Buy from hidkitspro.com

I don't even care about the customer service at this point. The product is complete garbage. Design is poor and does not fit the car at all. It almost does, but almost doesn't cut it.

Thanks for running our EuroR HID kit and LED lighting.
