If I remember, I'd tell you lol, I got them off eBay. They turned out to be crazy good hids, I've had only one issue with one of the connectors at the headlight. It worked itself out of the socket, but thats it. I think I bought them from a vendor called motorsports online...not sure though. it's been about 2 yrs and they're still going strong. I might go to a 4500k, they look more like natural light to me, not so blue.

Your beam is all over the place...get some IPF or hella housings. If you have the eBay conversions they won't be a good.
