HID recommendations

I'm starting to think of doin HID conversion. I know how to spot a cheap set, but do any of you have any experience with buying and researching HID's? I'm wondering if any of those on Ebay are any good, or if there are any reasonable priced ones from other sources. Thanks!

I have HIDs on my car (cheap ones) and they don't support the high beam.. I don't know about the American setup for the 124s but my Euro lights use an H4 setting..

Anyway, the quality of the HIDs is top notch. The only down side was that I had to bridge the high beam to the foggies so I still had some functional high beams..

Oh, how much are the HIDs worth? Maybe I can check out the prices at where I live and maybe hook you guys up with some great deals. IMO they are cheap here in Hong Kong

Not a problem mate. Just give me a shout anytime!
I can even send them from UK if postage costs would be cheaper that way
