I found a few OEMs on Ebay with ballasts, but is there a better kit out there?

Not sure for which car you are looking to upgrade but we do have W210 projectors available to pair with our ProLumen HID kits for factory xenon projector setup.

I bought one of those ebay kits. Its new and unused, but ill sell it for $250. I just decided to buy the OEM lights since I dont want to spend time trying to hide the ballasts.

Ran into a problem, The Led's were flickering after install. So my audio guy said he wanted to try another brand. Anyone else hear of this happening? I think I am going to just buy an oem set off of ebay.
