Heres my review of the HID's I purchased from ya'll

Shipping:
Fast shipping. Shipped it out on May 1st and received it the next day. But I live one city down from where it was shipped from so I expected it to be here fast. Local pickup isn't available which kind of sucks. I was emailed a tracking number as soon as it was shipped too!



Ease of install:
Really easy lol pretty self explanatory. Comes with a guide but its not really needed aslong as you can plug things together >.> (its plug and play)



It comes with everything that was described on the site and in OP's original post. The adhesive pads are extremely helpful. My car is stock under the hood so finding a place where I could place my blast was hard. Since it came with the sticky pads it didn't matter.


Pics of the 5000k (OEM white) on my 91 Civic Sedan (Bulb size is 9006 if anyone is wondering)

I recieved my HIDS in 2 days, super fast shipping and packaged very well! Everything is self expanitory, but they do come with detailed instructions. Everything is plug and play, very simple to install, just plug in the plugs put your bulbs in and then mount the ballast and your ready to go!

I ordered the h4s just low hid/halogen highs and they work perfectly. They are the 6000K which are bright white with a hint of blue. They are very clear and crisp. Sorry I didnt get any pictures of them against a wall but they have a nice horizontal line so you dont get flashed. I am very pleased with these headlights!! And great service by HIDEXTRA!




Thanks again!
Austin

Got my kit super fast like 3 days after I paid and Im on the east coast. Kit is 9006 in 8000k. Had to try it out in my buddies car since mine is torn apart right now. Super easy installation. Totally plug and play. They warm up quick and have no flicker when driving. I would recommend these kits to anyone. You cant beat them for ease of install and price. A+++++=

Great on communication and i really liked the checkout page they have setup. The Kit came within two days. Included everything i needed for installation. One feature i really liked was the weather proof plugs. 8000k is a good color for an import. I would definitely buy from them again!

The vehicle was a 95 honda accord.

Do the ballasts cause any radio interference? Cutoff pics?

I got the H4 5000K Bi-Xenon and they didn't come in a nice looking box as fcjohnny. The bulbs didn't even have any protection, they were just wrapped up in bubble wrap. They also didn't fit my OEM headlights, but me and William are getting that sorted out.

Upon making the purchase for the kit, I immediately recieved the kit in 2 days and you can't beat the fast shipping and the seller also gave me a tracking number right away unlike some sellers where you would have to ask them. Anyways... The kit overall is fairly simple to install. I bought the 9006 socket with the 6000k bulb and they sure are bright. You can't beat a good price. Installing them was really easy and the double stick adhesive pads were really helpful because I was able to mount the ballast behind the fender to have a cleaner engine bay. I am just waiting to see how long the ballast would last, but overall the product is great. I would buy from the seller again.

Bro it's totally not cool trying to dispute me. Claiming you never received the package and didn't authorize the transaction charge to your credit card. You contacted me regarding this issue and I responded back. Your actions are totally unnecessary.
Hey all you have to do is ask and I would have approved for your refund.

Let me start off by saying this is perhaps the smoothest transaction I have ever had on honda-tech. I placed an order on Tuesday night and received the 2 sets of HID kits on Friday. I ordered an H1 and H4/9003 HID kit. I wasn't sure what to expect since they were only $60 shipped i've been burned in the past with the "you get what you pay for" cliche. However, this was not the case, and I felt I got more than what I paid for. The output is excellent and very clear. I got 6000k as my output for both sets. I've owned 6 HID kits in the past, all from ebay ranging from $100-250 kits. The HIDextra kit really holds its ground and is by far the best product, item for dollar. The 6000k was crystal white with a tint of blue that looks very crisp and not blinding for incoming traffic or cops. The install was a breeze and essentially "plug and play". If you know how to connect clips and put it in regular light bulbs, then you'll know how to install these. Overall, I give this item a 10/10 and I highly recommend it to anyone who is on the verge of buying HIDs. Thank you HIDextra and I look forward to buy kits for all of my cars.

Well ,that's just my own judgement and perspective of the product. Try finding a better HID kit out there for the price.

The real test of a product's quality is if it can withstand the test of time.

<-- still using the same Philips ballasts @ 6.5+ years old and Philips 85122 4300K bulbs @ 5+ years old.
