Default Looking for an HID kit...
I am trying to find an Hid kit for my car, but all I have found on ebay is just generic. I was wondering where I cant find a quality one and how difficult is it to install...

This is from the for sale section. This kit got a lot of good feedback from the forum members.

I picked mine up for about $200 and they have been working flawlessly. Took about 15 minutes to hook up, totally plug and play with no cutting of any wires needed. Night and day difference. Have had them for about 9 months now.

I wonder how those compare, as far as fit, finish and light, to the ones being sold on the C5 F/S forum.

Looking at his ad, pretty identical. Except for the kit I purchased was packaged up much neater. Each ballast box, light, wiring was in its own little seperate box and then everything inside a very sturdy larger box.

Either kit will give you great results, just matters if you want to spend $225 or $259 shipped.

We have a supporting vendor that sells these. I've bought two sets for my C5s - no issues.
