Xentec Fogs (9006) - anyone try these?
these look to be a good match for the E55 (9006) fogs and < $40 shipped - anyone using Xentec fogs?
yes, I know they're a 'cheaper' HID kit setup, but does anyone have experience? any flicker? or 'bulb-out' issues?

I purchased a set of these for my Lexus last year and the quality was decent, but I did have a slight flicker issue with the driver's side light. You could only tell when you were really close to something and concentrating on it. They've lasted me a year so far and no problems other than that.

I've had them on my s4 problem free.. my buddy told me about them. You can also get a free ballast. If you buy them when the arrive to you email the seller and say one didn't work. They will send you a new ballast no question asked and you keep the others. Gives a spare for later haha. But you will need code canceller boxes. There like 15$ a pair.

xentec are garbage, ballast didn't work out of the box. Going to go with 5k from TRS. i have 6000K phillips bulbs in the headlights but am going to change to 5000K kit for the fogs and 5000k morimoto bulbs for the headlights.
