H.I.D. kits from Ebay......

I have a friend that has a new Nissan Titan truck.
He bought a H.I.D. kit from ebay. Paid 169.00 shipped.
The intensity are 8000K, and they look blue.
Was very eay to install. Basically plugs into the stock harness. Bulb fits just like stock. Each application may vary, but for the price this is one killer set of HID's.

I have seen them on here for over $250 bucks. Ebay has a deal on these right now. CHeck it out if your in the market.

Depending on the brand and vendor, the bulbs may blow out in less than a year. My boy with a Spec-V purchased the Ebay HID kit for like $250 shipped, and in about 8 months, one bulb went out on it. That's a very short time if you ask me. He still has the kit though...just not on the car anymore.

So like anything else on Ebay, make sure you can find replacement items as easily before purchasing.

I got my yellow HID fogs from ebay, my g/f got her 6k's for her WRX, two sets of yellow fogs and 6k headlights for my friend's GTO and Cobra, and no problems yet with any of them. The seller was nissangtr power. Shipping was very fast, and he's also very fast to respond to any questions.

I would not go over 6000 Kelvin. The dropoff in lumens from 4300K to 8000+K is significant and not worth the "cool" look IMHO. I do not personally have experience with these ebay kits but I have purchased and installed a few of the 100% philips/hella rebased kits and they are all still working perfectly (>2 years).

Sounds like a good deal he is only makeing about 40 bucks in profit. Hid's are a big money maker for any shop that sells them.
