Default Ebay HIDs???

I'm looking to get some HIDs. What do you guys think about an ebay kit. There is a kit for $50 shipped.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CAR-H...mZ270280731012

What do you think?

ive bought a set. They arent too shabby, although i did have one ballast burn out in less than a year (under manufacturer warranty). However i know many people who have bought the kits and they love em

Well what about ddmtuning? They have a kit for $50 and they come with a lifetime warranty. Has anyone tried them?

Here's the link

Also what's the difference between slim ballast and full?
