Default Mini Slim? What?

So I was just messing around on ebay and found these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Optix-HID-Xe...-/131280161101

What is a mini slim? And is this a decent buy? I am planning on buying new lightning head lights too so would these be a good buy along with the headlights?

Thanks

Get sylvinia silver stars or retrofit. Those are your best options.

Those are for blinding the crap out of everyone in front of you while giving you worse lighting than Halogen (just as any other PnP HID kit).

IF you want hids, the retrofit source is the only place I'd buy from. And also, they offer a bulb that instead of using a halogen bulb for the high beam, the bulb actually rotates to reflect the pattern differently. About 150 dollars I believe. But worth it quality wise.

Just no.. PnP hid kits are garbage. You want hids, then do projector retrofit.

Tbh I don't even mind hids in reflectors cause everyone and their mother has them where I live, and now it's the guys that drive around with their lights bars on trying to prove who has the bigger c*ck that are considered the *******s.

Sarcasm and mini rant aside, do what you want but I'm going to have to side with retrofits.
