I had this problem a year ago, and the dealer definitely tried to take advantage of me. I found a set on Ebay, the dude wanted $200 for both. Which in comparison to the dealer wanting $600 for one.

I will do some searching, if i come up with anything i'll let you know.

Good luck,
Steve

Don't forget to try walpole on here, they are a dealership who sells for MUCH less than normal dealer prices.

Give this guy a shot. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=250635 He might have sold them already, but it is worth a shot.

if you cant find an oem one for a good price i would def recommend getting a kit off ebay for around 250 shipped you can get both and it will work just fine. Ive had a kit installed for about a year and still no problems.

I recently bought two sets of HIDs, one for the Evo 9 and one for the Eclipse. I only paid like $260 per each kit and they came completely with two ballast each and two xenon lights.

I strongly encourage you just to get the same kit for $260, at the end you will pay only half of the price and not only you get two ballast(twice of what you are looking for) plus you get two bulb replcements.

Do a quick search on my name, I just did a review on the HID product just a few days ago. I think my alternative is very good. Good luck!

I rather buy from a Evom member than from ebay. There is too many "smart" people with incredible "smoking deals"(copycat from taiwan,vietnam,etc) on ebay now days.. you know what I mean.

Illo Carlito que?

Sorry for being out of topic: can you post pics of the 4300 HID kit on Socorro's IX? I am undecided between the 4300 and the 6000 kit.

Thanks bro
