I have been through a few sets of HIDextra and it's really a toss up. Sometimes you get good ones and sometimes you don't.

Tell me about it. Looking for another source also but don't want to shell out $300 for mtec. Even though I have probably spent that much in HID's....

NO, but it's nice to have...A little OCD on my part...(I'm talking about my fogs HID kit. I bought my D1s bulb from them for my head lights and no problems for about a year now.)

Eh ! Lol hid extra loomed good until you said that dynamite . But their cheap so I might give it a try. My current problem is one of my ballast went bad in one of my fogs. For ddm to fox it I have to send it back and wait . While back on this hid topic I might as well get the the headlights done . Hid extra sells ballasts by themselves so I might just buy one and try it out

I have to admit they be good at switching bulbs/ballasts if they go bad in a reasonable amount of time. It's just that I have done it so many times it's getting to be a pain. Like you said they are cheap so for the money they aren't bad
