All kits are manufactured in China, but I would not recommend ordering from there, customs is SLOOOOW. Hence importers shipping them from domestic warehouses.

Is there something mysterious about this import system, R.S.?

Zalfrin is correct, they are all the same Chinese stuff.

FWIW, here is an awful pic of my 8k heads.


Once the car is running i will get pic of the whole setup.

I've seen alot of ebay listings that say they are from somewhere in the US but they still ship from China.

I don't have any problems when ordering from China. I ordered my bi xenon kit from VVME last Tuesday, it was shipped Wednesday from China and I received it at my door that Friday.

I have ordered things from the US and had it take over 2 weeks to receive.

Dunno, mine claimed to be from the USA, and that was where it shipped from. I guess if you order from a large company that ships directly from China, you may be okay. If its an individual or small company, things may be different. I ordered a USB-serial adaptor from China, it took 3.5 weeks to arrive, and didn't work to boot.

Yeah the shipping was pretty fast, maybe 3-4 days from China.

Here are some pics of mine, 8000K VVME

I just shut my fog lights off when I had stock fogs and 8k heads. I didn't like how they looked together.

And yes, they are bright.

white isn't illegal.

Blue and red are illegal.

which bright blue ones did you buy? The only real blue corners I have seen are switchbacks

well i bought it on autoillumation.com i think thats how u spell... it well its not "meant" to be in the corner lense obviously but it has the same 3157 # so it will fit in there thus being a blue bulb
