I bought my foglight kit from hidextra.com and had to change the bulbs and ballasts over three times already. They don't honor their warranty either. Just thought I would share since their review section needs to be approved by them before being posted. Obviously they won't approve a bad review. Shop somewhere else

Yeah...heard some bad things about them

Moedy

First pair of ballasts they sent me didn't even work. At least they replaced those free

togaclk55

Are you running error cancellers?

Moedy

Yeah

My friend purchased from them as well. Same issues as you. I would definitely not recommend them.
If you guys want a good kit that will actually last read my review on the sportiva HID kit:

Is this the one you bought? http://tinyurl.com/dy57yvp

Moedy

No the ballasts are metal in color

Clkboi

Those are the ones. I got them from ebay too. Just make sure when you receive them to look for the engraved sportiva logo on the bulbs. I used the H7 kit for my fogs though

togaclk55

Did you buy error cancellers off ebay too?

Clkboi

Yes. Can't recommend any specific as i have been suing the same ones for 3 years now. They came with my first HID kit

Moedy

Do the ones on eBay come with a warranty? Is sportiva supposed to be a good brand?

Clkboi

Not sure on the warranty though it should say on the bottom of the listing. I have had great success with them. Currently running them on my fogs (35W) and my headlights (55W). Fogs are less than a year old but headlights have been 3.5 years with no issues!

Hello Moedy,

I bought my kit from HIDextra, at first I had flickering issues. I called them for technical support and what I didn't know that I need a pair of capacitors to eliminate the flickering issues & signal error on dash. And they strictly say that the warranty is good for 1 year. so I am guessing you are out of warranty already.

I really had a great experience with their customer service and they offered me to upgarade with their Premium Volt Canbus ballast. I am very happy with the output. They said that it has the advance built in component that will eliminate any issue a vehicle's computer system have with aftermarket HID.

To my fellow MB users, this is a very high quality kit recommended! No issues at all.

I bought my kit when they were giving the life time warranty which they didnt honor. They change the warranty time period as they see fit. HIDextra is a terrible company and you sound like a fake that works for them since this is your first post and you just registered

I have that feeling too Moedy lol.

Moedy

Yup that's pretty pathetic
