HID Conversion Kits

I'm looking for a 9006 HID conversion kit for my Oldsmobile. I dont wanna do the whole Ebay thing because I dont trust some of the companies. Is there anywhere local that carries this specific kit? And if so, how much will it run me?

(specifically looking for 6000K or 8000K)

Honestly, get the ebay kits or VVME.com

Doesnt matter what the brand name is... they all come from China - some just charge more because of name.

I have had nothing but luck with ebay. I recently bought a set of DIY projectors for 163.00$ shipped to my door. Bi-Xenon with halos. Perfect fit, came with relay harnesses, ballasts, everything. Works great.

Mike, I will find a price on them tomorrow for you. I am out of town in the morning (have to ship MRS2NR's ring over to Vancouver to be transmogrified and then back again tomorrow night). They are stocked in Vancouver so not a big deal to get them at all.

pacific mall is the best place!
$150 smackers. just replaced my old set (ballast were weak) with a set from a shop there. cant remember thier name right now but will find it tomorrow for ya. i paid cash no tax got receipt and 1 year warranty.
oh btw no need to wast money on highs if you mostly drive city.. highs are only good for out of town drivers. xenons need time to heat up and reach their best light output. if you have ever seen them used the first thing you will notice is they get brighter after they heatup. for this reason they are not good for just flash to pass (harder on the ballest)
