Default HID's??

Hey guys I'm looking to upgrade my 'stangs lighting with an HID kit for my headlights and possibly foglights. I've been looking on ebay and was surprised how cheap these kits were (around $40). I'm leaning towards the 6000k kit (diamond white). What should i know before i pull the trigger on this buy? What should i look out for?

I got my hid 8k headlights and fogs from stang mods, they were pricey but I have low/high beams and a lifetime warranty on them. The installation took me an hour bc they come with a harness for everything and I'm very pleased with them. The customer service is helpful too and very prompt when I actually had to get one bulb warranteed

Several sellers within the club, I also rated a ebay seller of hids in the review section here:

Remember to get a relay harness for the headlights to keep them from flashing and decide on whether you want the high beams or not.

Been running my eBay hid's for over a year now with no issues. Just make sure you take your time and install them correctly. Also like Jon has mentioned, get the ones with a relay harness.
