They're all the same ! They're all made in China  Just make sure you get one with a digital ballast. ------------- Jeff

That is the older digital ballast. There's the slim line that are better ( IMO ) : https://www.manufacturer.com/images/buyLeads/www.alibaba.com/0821/l/buy_HID_Digital_Ballast.jpg------------- Jeff

If your going to do a retro fit do it right and get a set of projectors like these If the HID's do not have the proper "cut off" you will blind on comming drivers and possibly cause an accident. There is also the legal issue of properly aimed headlights. A proper retrofit looks awesome and only takes some added time with a dremel and a rotozip bit (or your tool of choice). Another site to look into for more information is HID Planet.com-------------

Wot? No analog ballasts?
I presume the digital is OF output, or is it true digital?

Be careful, there are a million knock off companies out there and if u r paying $15 for a set of hid's they probably are not very good, trust me it took almost 40 companies of trying and testing all their products before i found a company that was awesome! now i order between 200 and 1000 kits a month with a 0.02% defective rate, and yes 90% of them are made in China and there still are a few very good companies there.
