HID headlights kits, whats the difference Options

[Hanyo]

I've looked around for HID kits and the brands range between cheap xentec to philips kits.

The prices of these kits range from $35 to $300.

Why is there a huge price difference. There is the obvious quality of parts and different technology.

But the real question is:

Do the higher end kits give you more light for the same wattage?

Has anyone burnt out a ballast?

To those of you who have aftermarket HID kits installed; what kit did you get and how good has it been so far?

I have 6k 55w DDM Tuning hids on my mr2 (Driving lights and fogs). I've had them for about 6 months with no issues at all. The only reason I would suggest going with them is they provide a lifetime warranty on the bulbs (against color fade) and ballasts. At only $35 for a 35w kit you really cant go wrong. I wouldnt get the 55w kit unless you have a good set of properly aimed projector headlights.
