I am in the search for a good digital set of 6000k/6500k and 3000k HIDs. It seems like these too companies are the best sellers and offer great products but im still uncertain which one to choose!!!!
I am def looking for something not too hard to install and is more of a PLUG AND PLAY application. Seems like XenonDepot wins that one.
Pricing seems to be better with Retro-Solutions for the 35w H1 Digital Slim Kits $166 vs XenonDepot's 6500k Digital HID kits at about $175. not much of a difference though.
Retro seems to have a lifetime warranty but 'Depot doesn't have that but there is a 3 year warranty i see on the site.
NEXT comes the color. Xenon offers a slightly different color in 6500k vs the 6000k from Retro. Also the 3000k from Xenons Volt package is noticeably more yellow than the ones from Retro, which i found VERY weird!:lame:!! Got this info from the site and crsx users pics.
What do you guys and gals think? Im open for opinions and also pics of ur set up if u have any to share. Also if the reps from both companies could possible PM me or just write on here.
i have 6k retro-solutions and theres at least 50 pics of that set up here if you :search:
you should know though that ppls intial pictures after the kit is first installed is gonna look different than the true color because it takes about 100hrs to 'break HIDs in' and have them reach their true color
if you can't install a HID kit i pray for your car cuz ur gonna fuck it up real soon trying to install nething else, hid kit is beyond easy to install. its not even considered a "bolt-on"
buy from RETRO if you want any kind of warranty / customer support after purchase.
buy VVME if you want to save $. i got 3 VVME kits in my car and they've been running for over 4 years strong and ive never replaced a single component.
Spoke too soon lol the order came today but I was at the Bronx Zoo lol gotta get it in the morning and install that sucker!! I'm so hype!!
