no its not the fact that your an idiot, some people need harnesses and ben didnt have one so thats why and mine needed one too, and no failures since, so maybe youve never needed on, but HIDS were the biggest PITA ive ever had at FIRST, but in the end its all worth it, the 8000K triple the stock output not to mention throw a really cool blue

I'll say it again... it's the fact he DID NOT USE ballasts. He said he ordered bulbs, useless w/o igniters...

If you ever had a class with electricity in high school (physics), installing HIDs is easy. Anyone who ever messes them up comes back on later and says how they made a retarded mistake, except in th case of the connector pinouts being incorrect for some harnesses.

well they make pretty good fog like HIDS, so their probably legit, but for an extra 40$ you could dominate the road with HIDs

I've been happy with my first gen Silverstars. I've really been eyeing the new Ultras.
