ive had 3bspec, ddm, and cheap ebay (as in like 30$ foglight hid kit). And honestly they all work the same IMO. Even if you cheap out and go ebay, and they go to crap, you can still buy another set and still be cheaper then the higher up kits.

The thing i will say about ebay kits though, is my yellow fogs, have more of a green tint to them, idk if thats because of ebay brand, or thats how 4k usually is.

We recommend Morimotos which we have cheaper then anywhere. Also Our stage 2 Kits are very well built as well. Includes the Canbus system.

If you don't retrofit them then yes theyre illegal and yes they don't work as well as the OEM halogens.
