HID's are illegal, but who gives a ****.

I've had a couple people flash me with their high beams, I just flash them back

Real HID's (projectors) aren't, but aftermarket (plug n play) are

I bought a HID kit from ledgauges.com(sponsor or he used to be) and one of the ballasts took a ****. I thought it was the ballast that was previously dented from an accident, but no, it just took a crap all of a sudden. I bought that kit for $220 shipped. I now run an Ebay HID kit, got it for $75 shipped. I've been running it for 4 months with zero problems. So it's not always you get what you paid for

If you ever get tired of your bulb color or need to replace a broken bulb they are only $30 shipped! Compare that to ledgauges $150 replacement bulbs I bought some 6000k's just incase I get tired of the 8000k's

Since I'm gonna add a PA to my car, I might as well go full redneck and add the light bar too.
