Default Headlight vacuum hose kit

Has anyone used the molded hose kit from Doc Rebuild, I'm curious if it's worth the extra money over some of the kits offered by other vendors.

TIA

The Doc's kit is supposed to be correctly color coded and with the correctly ribbed hoses; up to NCRS standards.

I usually don't mind paying a premium for something that works and lasts. Nothing gets me more upset then replacing something multiply times. Used the Doc's hoses and they have been in for five or six years never had a problem.

Doc Rebuild at most has the best parts, as well he has quite an inventory of alot of NOS and usually three options for parts, NOS American Made and foreign.
