Default HID kit buying advice

I'm looking to by a 9006 hid kit for my low beams on a 6gen 4banger . I found one for 430.00 the seller claims bulbs and ballast are phillips and Wiring harnesses, relays, and packaging are from Taiwan.
Is this a good deal or should i pass on his offer ? Any suggestions ?

or try www.hids4less.com insist on philips bulbs and ballast. Osram bulbs are okay.

If you want bright and don't care about color get 4300K bulbs otherwise get 6000k for more of a blue tint, but you'll lose some lighting.

Mister Jung sells crap. he doesnt respond to emails, he sells used products. I received my order, it was the wrong product, it was opened, and used. I ended up having to dispute the charge with paypal and got my money back. he is a prick!

I'd pass on this too. I'd go to www.autolamps-online.com or www.suvlights.com which is what some people already stated on here. You pay a little more but at least you know you're getting a quality product. Or I might wait and get the Catz hid kit.
