I know that if I ever have one break etc. I will go through APT again, too bad they raised their price from the original $60 I paid.

So because VRD's sells them at a higher price, the bulbs last longer?

^^I know honestly who cares about the bulbs get some nokya's and it will solve the problem. You can buy like 6 sets of bulbs for the amount of money you saved from not buying them from vrd.

yea Iceman..that made no sense.. people saying that is annoying.." u get what u pay for".. no u dont .. thats like sayin if I pay for a brand new Jaguar .. its not gonna mess up in some way because the badge says Jaguar and it was made in England. and I paid $95K for it .. versus a Scion which I paid $25K for and made in Japan its less of a car ??? that makes no sense.. they are both cars and both capable of breaking down in the same way.. just like they are both bulbs just cause 1 has a different name thats more known doesnt make it or anything else "better", or less... in the end they are BOTH bulbs, or foglights, or cars.. so be quiet with that u get what u pay for BS... cause its not true

The quality of the material is what makes it more expensive. If your going to buy cheap crap then it's not going to last as long as the more better quality expensive ones. And if you don't like the quote too f**king bad.

Dumb a$$ bi*ch someone can buy a Porsche for a cool $90K just cause they have hand stitched leather and exotic interior materials and spend a a$$ load of money doesnt make it any more apt not to break down quicker than any other car ur interior can be made of fuc*in suede and marble that doesnt mean ur suede wont discolor and your marble wont start to crack sooner than a car with a vinyl like interior just because u paid an obscene amount of money for it .. I know alot of people with old beater cars they have had for 5-15 years along with their Scions and they don't have "quality" materials in them.. they have regular cloth interior a regular engine sum regular lights and some regular tires and hubcaps.. just cause they got it for cheap doesn't mean it wont last for a long time if not longer than todays "Quality materialed" stuff purchased for alot more $........ just cause it says VRD and u spend $250 dollars on it doesn't mean the same cant happen to urs.. Oh since ur VRD's and bulbs are SO much better .. post up pics

The only difference between VRDS and these ebay lights is, that we dont get an instruction packet.

From what I understand APT is the ones that manufacture them and VRD just increased the price. I know when I get mine I getting them from APT because they have great customer service and cost $100 instead of 250!

When did I say I have VRD? If you were following the post, I have APT and HID bulbs. Did I once say I had VRD? And i'm talking about the quality of the bulb not the foglight housing.
