Which HID Conversion Kit?

After reading many opinions regarding HID conversion kits (bulbs and ballasts) versus what some call "true HID" (replacement housing, lenses, bulbs and ballasts), I am down to two (2) choices. Both are available via the big auction site. They seem to be "the same." One conversion kit costs about $95 (50 + 45)and the other about $144 (103 + 41). What recommendations or experience do you have? I know the difference isn't really a big deal but I'd like to make a smart purchase. I wouldn't hesitate to spend a few dollars more.

Thank you,
Barry

I'd like to know as well.

The more expensive ones have a higher seller feedback, which is worth something. But a 50% premium is fairly steep.

Guys I have a set of the HID lights from DJ they are the difference between night and day over stock lights. I will never need the bright lights even. It would be a waste of money to replace them. I buy a lot from EBAY as well but when it comes to specific components and the moola needed I prefer to deal with someone I know will back the product and in this case even installed them for me. They are in the Houston area and will be glad to ship anywhere.

They are all the same kits on ebay. But Davis does not sell his kits on ebay. www.djmotorsportaccessories.com is a premium product.
