Default HIDNation

Anyone ever order from HIDNation? They got a special for $35.99 HID Kits.. Seems fishy.. I've read some reviews and people say they had awful experiences.. Wanted to know if anyone here has used them before.

I don't recommend running any plug and play HID kit honestly. But if you really want a good set, the morimoto kits from Theretrofitsource will be the best quality you can get.

I figured you would pop in Browning haha. I have to return my new headlights because the lens fogs so bad. So instead of buying new headlights again I was just gonna go for HID's.

I don't suggest using a plug and play kit however these guys do make a good product.

Just get another set and run a bead of silicon around them so they're sealed good. Stock lenses with HID's behind them look horrible and can really be a down grade depending on color temp.

I was thinking about trying these out and returning them if I didn't care for the output. I hear they do not produce a lot of glare like the hids plus they have pretty good reviews.

I installed a set for my buddy, they were better than HID's in the glare department and put out a cleaner pattern, but the high beams don't have near the distance they should, and after comparing them to my retrofits he went ahead and upgraded lol

How much did you cost you in total for your retrofit?
