Xenon or HID xenon?

I want to upgrade to Xenon, but not sure which one to get:
1. Xenon HID from Hid4less.com $499
2. OEM Xenon (not HID) from Steve $499

I've read some threads that say option 1 may have issues since its not OEM. Thoughts?

thanks.

HID (high intensity discharge)=Xenon they are are the same thing.

I'll sell you the same kit hids4less will except $25 cheaper($475). Email me if you want info. If steve will sell you stock xenon headlamps, ballasts, and bulbs for 499.....jump all over it! However for 499 it sounds like he is selling aftermarket kits as well. Mind you if you don't have xenon's from the factory the oem xenons will not fit in the housing correctly. m3jeremy@hotmail.com

PS no issue's with hid4less kit either, comes with 5-year warranty and will not set off low voltage sensor/warning(ie. defective bulb).

I recently sold a set of 208 xenons (1 new and 1 shortly used light) for 700USD shipped. I have 1 more set available (and 1 set that is already token).

I will either be in NY during my next trip (last 2 weeks of april/first week of may) or in July.

Steve are those the OEM xenon's with the housing items and all, or just the kit?

It sounds like steve is selling the whole headlamp assembly with everything you need. Now as far as his pricing???? who knows he sold a half used set for 700.....which is a good deal.
