Im glad im able to post before the haters. These HID kits are actually really good!!!!! if you look at the bulbs they are IDENTICAL to any other hid bulbs sold aside from the Moritmoto's or something that actually is quality. They are same bulbs as DDM or any company like that.
$32 bucks, used them for 2 years on girlfriends car no problems.
I bought a set originally for the cobalt and had a bad bulb that flickered while on, sent it back got a new one free (i paid shipping it was cheap) and added a relay, no more problems!

Update:
Just got back from a two day camping trip and my package was here.
After much screwing off for most of the day, I finally decided to attempt to put them on.
I have the 3 LED Halo Projector headlight housings.
Where the bulb goes in is actually too narrow to accomodate the bulb.
I ended up filing the hole so that the bulb just fit.
The wiring that you have to do is actually quite simple. I however managed to screw it up. I wired to
the high beams instead of the low beams. It is going to be a simple fix of just adjusting the pin outs in
the blue connector that it came with.
I still have two more ballasts to put in for the fog lights.
When I have the project done I will post a few pictures.

review:
got as bday present.
had some issues installing it and making the HI/LO work (moved pins around). worked awesome, for around 2+ years.
now have problems with the ballast (hi/low issue), lost hi when the ligts are one.
-when LO on and activate HI, lights goes out completely.
-Have HI when LO lights are off, day time.
-no drl fuse was pull.
-used 2 different bulbs, (8000k came with the kit and i dont like color, bought 5000k) both have same issue, so is not the bulb is the ballasts.
Right now headlights and foglights are 5000k
I might be purchasing another kit. or get projectors plus morimoto hids from retrofit-source. (you get for what you pay for)
trying to go all 4300k

when it comes to buying hid's the bulbs aren't really the thing you should be worrying about, its the ballasts that make the big difference, when you buy cheap hid's they'll be cheap because of the ballasts your getting

Edit:
Was going to put the kit on the fog lights today and I ran in to two snags.
1. Didnt get a connector terminal so I can wire in to the factory harness
2. Wrong bulb.

I was able to get the HIDs wired in. Didnt really get up to take pictures of them. Now the driver side is not working. Found that a fuse was constantly blowing. When I switched the ballasts the fuse did not blow. I believe the ballasts are bad because they got wet..... Kind of a bummer.
