Default HID Manufacturer Recommendation

Which manufacturer would yall recommend for a full set of HIDs? I can search all day online (amazon) but it just becomes a blur b/c there are so many different companies. I'm looking for something with bang for buck, good customer service, and quality bc we all know withing a year there will be at least 1 bulb or ballast gone bad. I have experience with HIDs from my previous vehicles and it was a hassle for each with product life. I'm looking for a 6k set.

I'm sure there is another thread on this already, but I promise I looked and had no luck!

Consensus seems to be Billinvic, Tuxedo Black, or OEM 2013 HIDs with adapter harness .

Like you said, the PNP kits all seem to have a bulb or ballast issue after about a year. I tried the eBay ones and they lasted 9 months or so. I have a set of DDM H13's that I haven't installed yet (DDM supposedly have a lifetime warranty), and frankly I don't think I will. I am going to get a set of 2013 OEM HID lights. Whatever you decide, ground the harness direct to the negative battery terminal not the frame. I have been told that it helps with the longevity of the PNP kits.

DDM TUNING has always been good to me. Had 6k lows/highs and on my fogs until i found a good deal on some 2013 OEM projectors for mine. I have been running 6K HIDS on my yukon for about 2yrs now from DDM and haven't had any problems either.

Go with the good projector HID retro's or the OEM 2013 heads. Any HID added to prior year heads are glare problimatic for other drivers. Bil or Tux are the two excellent choices that come to mind. There are plenty of examples of their outstanding products in this area.

I have Beamers HIDs in both my low beams and fog lights. I am running 6000K in my lows and 3300K im fog lights. They came with everything required to run correctly and I haven't had any issues with them
