Confused about all the different brands in the market?
What’s more important… Price? Quality? Color? Warranty?
From least to most important:
- Quality – find out where the kit is made and if other buyers had a good experience with them.
- Warranty - find out how long the warranty is, and what kind of warranty it is. Make sure the seller can and will honor it when the time comes. Make sure you don’t have to send it abroad as well.
- Price - find the best deal on equally similar quality.
- Color - you always have a choice in color. In most times, a 6000K from one brand is the same color as 6000K from another brand. The quality of the kits actually determines whether the color will fade or not.

HID Buying Guide:
Even just a few years ago, HID was a thing that most drivers didn’t even know about. Only the elite few with high-end luxury cars had the comfort of having HID brightness for lighting up the road. Soon, the aftermarket HID manufacturers’ used ballasts and bulbs directly from OEM suppliers such as Phillips and Hella. However, the high-cost of these components kept the kits still too expensive for the general public to buy. But with the increased “white light” cravings, many drivers began fitting their curs with “xenon bulbs” which were notorious for blowing out within months of usage. It also did not give the brightness that HID lights gave. HID systems give three times more brightness and uses 40% less energy. It lasts the lifetime of the car – a true statement until recently.
Many aftermarket manufacturers began developing their own ballasts and/or bulbs in-house to reduce their sales cost. When this happened, the quality of HID systems began to vary greatly from brand to brand. The life expectancy of 2500 hours for the kit were no longer a guarantee, but a hopeful number. Many products from China and Taiwan have the most defective rate. Although they are improving, its hard to say when they will be able to offer true quality products like the ones from Korea, Japan, or Germany.
Many buyers only care about price and color. Any HID kit can look nice. But not all HID kits can be priced low. This is because of the amount of technology and quality control that goes into the kits. Buyer beware! Do not buy a kit solely on the price or the look of the color. You are buying at your own risk and face a high risk of losing $200 or more just to save a couple more dollars. Many of these products are sold by “fly by night” resellers who can promise you 1 or even 2 year warranties. Within a few months, these resellers or shops close down their doors and you can’t find them anywhere when things go wrong.
Lastly, beware of products that conceal their origin. Many manufacturers have realized that there are some smart buyers out there who avoid “Made in China / Taiwan” products. They have re-branded their product using American style names and do not reveal their product origin. Some even lie about their origin. OEM based products like Phillips and Hella are excellent in quality, but most are priced very high – around $548 USD. Also, a lot of these OEM kits are actually not OEM. They are assembled by the resellers after getting the parts form Phillips or Hella.
Please research brands before you buy. After all, knowledge is power. Make a smart buy by knowing more.
