I have these,
http://www.kaixenkits.com/

Been over two years and it's still perfect. No complaints on cutoff, color and they are so many times brighter than the stock non-hid models. Install was all plug and play.
It's def more expensive than the other ebay ones but like i said, it's worked out perfect for me.

Most of the HID kits that you'll see on ebay come from china, i supply a few local shops here with with HID kits and the product is excellent. You dont need to pay $200 for a good kit...

Bump for a good quality, inexpensive HID Kit!
I forget which ones I have right now... They're made in China, but good quality

I have a set of Kaixen kit laying around. They're a top notch quality. If you're interested, just let me know.

I had the Kaixen kit in my car, but switched it out to the DDM kit when I changed the headlight housing.

The DDM are brighter because it's a 55W kit (you'll need a wire and harness kit to run this setup). However because of the light bulb design or something, the light really scatters. It's not as concentrated as the Kaixen kit.

From what I've heard, stay away from the cheap ebay kits, McCoulloch isn't that great either. Phillips G3 ballast is a hit or miss thing. Some people had problems with them.

OEM = BEST. You'll have to front the cash though. The stock HID's on the evo are super bright, clear, and great quality.
