Default HID nation?

Im looking into getting hid headlights for my xj and have some questions. A few people reccomended I go to hidnation. I searched but didnt really find anything. Anyone deal with them or have a reccomendation for another place?

And is this all I would need for the conversion?

my friend ordered from that site not to long ago. Hes having a lot of problems. First we installed it, everything was working all good. then every few minutes, one of the bulbs would shut down. We tried one of my known good ballasts and it still did the same thing. They took there time when sending him a new bulb.

Put the new bulb in, everything working fine, then about 1-2 weeks later he calls and said one of his bulbs turned yellow, and the other is blue like its supposed to be. Im not sure if its a ballast problem, or another bad bulb. I havent been able to run over there yet to try my balast again.

Your choice tho

i got mine from a local dealer. He sold his business to a local shop whos website is http://www.tintdetroit.com/
i have no idea if whoever the new owner is will ship or not. Id try to find someone locally who deals and will warranty something like a bad ballast on the spot. I was unlucky to have a ballast start acting funny a few months after, and that night i was back up and running.

X6! I've had 3 sets. All u need is a 5x7 h4 conversion. Just go on eBay and pick your poison.
