Default Meng Motorsports HID kit Review!

First of all I would like to say extremely good customer service. I have dealt with many HID kits including MobileHID, Modexpress, operatic (bulbs only) , OEM Denso HID's and now Meng Motorsport.

- Fast shipping got it next day
- Order confirmation immediately
- Kit comes with a 2 year warranty
- Great price! $80.00

The kit comes with everything you need including two 3M super strength exterior double sided tape.



Testing to make sure everything works, fired up nice and bright on the first time.



Double side tape hold up nice and strong.



Close up pics:





After installing back the headlights I realized one of my fog light is broken Back to white bulbs for now.

dude that kit looks exactly like the one HIDextra sells. i bought some from them and its in the same box, came with the exact same zip ties, the double sided tape and even the stickers on the ballast are the same.

Looks nice. Is that an 8K HID kit? I used to hate the bump that sticks out on the plastic cover of the 2008+ headlights but it looks nice when the HID's light up and the color hits it.

What projectors were you planning to retrofit onto the headlights?
