So don't go and buy a $20 set

Yeah, the Hellas are awesome lights. Worth every penny.

I definitely wouldn't do it again. If I would have known I wouldn't have. I got the light kit at auto zone for $40. Hooked them up and the stock bulbs sucked. Replaced them with silverstar bulbs for another $40. They were a little brighter but I knew something wasn't right. I ordered another wiring harness that had a relay in it for $25 and they finally worked right. If you add it up I could have gotten the Hellas for the same price

I forgot about the $40 6000k hid's I ordered for it but I probably would have done that with the Hellas too

I wish I would have kept the pic of the stock bulbs but here's one of the silverstars with the new wire harness. Don't mind the messy garage. LOL
