New type of ballast
So i was looking around ebay for hid's for my sister's car and I came across a type of ballast I have never seen before, has anyone seen one like this before? If so, sre they better than the regular ones?
XENON HID KIT Ballast H1 H3 H4 H7 H11 H13 HB3 9006 9007 - eBay (item 350408669143 end time Jan-27-11 11:50:56 PST)

i didnt even click the link. i saw XENON and i know the ballasts are garbage.
nothing but problems ive heard from this brand.
i doubt a lil ballast like that is any better then the regular ones, just better fitting in places.

i see your just asking about this specific ballast, but i read in your post your looking for hids for ur sisters car. do yourself and your sister a favor and get a REAL hid kit.
BUYHIDS.COM
not trying to be a dick, but you will waste your money on them kits and they wont work and you will just end up buying a legit kit from another company. buyhids.com is where its at. ive ordered 2 hid kits from them and a set of retros from them. ive not had one single problem so far.
good luck with your search buddy

On the quality chart.
Ebay<Generic/aftermarket hid(ddm,buyhids,3bspec)<Morimoto<OEM (Denso,Matsushita)
One thing most don't know about aftermarket ballasts is that they don't put out their rated wattage. Aftermarket ballasts are rated by how much power they consume, not put out. In reality they actually put out something like 24-27 watts. OEM will actually output 35 watts, and will consume something like 42 watts.
Long story short. OP stay away from the cheap junk. If you want it to last, buy the good stuff.
