If we can get 3 or more people it will be $420 shipped, if we can get 10 or more people it will be $400 shipped. It's been a while since I've spoken with my contact at the distributor but I'm sure they'll still honor these prices.

Please let me know whoever is interested.

Btw....McCulloch H7 HID kits are $289 + free shipping on eBay.

I have a question....i noticed some HID kits offer ballasts in 12V (for pass vehicles) and 24V (for trucks). Is our ML system 24V?

Thanks.

OK....I going with Philips 6000K HID kit with new slim design ballasts.....price is $439.99 shipped (4300K Philips kit is 279.99 shipped) to all 50 states. I already have this kit (installed in early 2002) on my 2001 Lexus GS (no flaming please) and no problems to this day (knock on wood / Xing my fingers).

If anyone interested in starting a Groupbuy on the Philips kit....let me know....I can ask if the company is willing to drop it lower depending on how many ppl interested.
