I bought aftermarket headlight assemblies off of e bay ,....one leaks water vapo,mist? doesnt bother me because it evaporates after a day or two after washing my car,,but the problems lies in the other assembly which doesn't let any water in.The left light bulb has burnt out twice, first off the bulbs they sell with these are crap,so i bought the 'blue hid style' bulbs ,they suck 2.i just bought some silverstars in hopes that they wont burn out, its what i had in the stock housings thatwere all scratched up,,,, question ,could they be wired up poorly?How do you remedy this problem? thank you for any suggestions

Phaze HIDS do not suck u probably got the pos bulbs only.
get the kit cost like a bill(100).
Hids come with ballast and with that call it a day plug and play-
8000k legal limit.get em heres the link for h4(only low beam)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-05-MIT-E...sspagenameZWDVW
CALL IT A DAY.
check wiring if it burnt up. if its stock itll be cool for plug and play as long as its not burnt up.

No, I know that the real hid are great, plug and play kits included ,Ibought after market dual halo projectors, the silverstars i put in for the low beams havent burnt out yet they were 50 dollars so i gotta use those,I didnt realize you could get the hid kits for that cheap or else i would've got them instead.Is ther enough room in the halo housing for the ballast and are the "socket?" deep enough to fit hid bulbs?
