Stealth Auto or Xenon Depot?

[Pug]

I am going to upgrade my nasty halogens to something like a 6500K or 8000K HID and am wondering which company is better to go through? I know on 3CF XenonDepot is a supporting vendor and has write-ups by members on their kits. Of course, Stealth Auto offers a kit in the same price range. Which one would be a better deal?

Also, I want to upgrade to Stealth bulbs at the same time - which ones do I need? I know at least 1 pair of 3757's and the side marker 194's, but it seems like each headlight has a pair of 3757's each. can anyone verify this? Thanks!

I have the stealth auto HID kit... not one complaint what-so-ever.

I'll get back to you on the bulbs...

for the headlight (parking lights) you can use 3757 even if it's 3157 , not sure if 300 and c are same bulb part though
I go with stealthauto since I never dealt with xenon (I'm sure they're very good) and great customer service and product.

this is from the stealthauto website.
***NOTE - These bulbs are originally labeled as #3157 and have professionally modified to perfectly match the specifications of a 3757 bulb my Stealth Auto technicians and still carry our full lifetime warranty.***

all I can say is Aaron at Stealth Auto is a stand up guy and helped me out in a pinch

I'd go with Stealth auto between the two...Aaron will help you out, and that is something you can't get sometimes.

Now I am looking at that fashtek kit - granted, I have never heard of them before but $139 + shipping for a full 8000k HID kit is not bad. With shipping I am looking at $168.

Stealth would be $249.95 just for the HID kit - and it appears their ballasts are made of plastic vs. metal on the other one.

On the other hand, I save some money with shipping because I want to get some stealth bulbs too.

Any suggestions before I whip out the plastic? My Focuztech angel eyes are probably going to get here today - so I want to order these soon and just do 1 installation.

Does anyone have any experience with the HID's from fashtec? I remember speaking with xenon depot about some type of resistor that is wired into their harness so the car still thinks the bulbs are drawing 55w. I am not sure if these have that.

I have to go with Xenon Depot. They sponsored me with the ones I have in my 300 and they are beautiful! I did the writeup for the install and the owners were more than helpful. If you need pics, PM me.
