Any stores that sell HID kits?

Any shops in the Bay Area that sells HID kits? Preferably name brand kits like McCulloch or Phillips? Mine went out and I want a new kit.

btw, any specifications or suggestions for my JDM Bugeye projectors?

Holy **** you and me both man! $60 for a full set with a lifetime warranty!?

Whats the catch - peeps speak up!

Edit:

Put my order in for a 55watt 4500K kit and a relay harness for $89.00 after tax, shipping and handling.

I will put it together and throw up a review to so everyone can see if these are up to snuff.

the wrxmodders thread are still waiting for "bigg sean" to install them. but they're supposedly popular on the bmw forums?

anyways,
does this sound right for me?
02 WRX + jdm projectors
DDM 35W
Bulb type: 9007
Bulb color: 4500K

Do I need a harness? or a PNP adapter? Or should everything hook up. My old set up required splicing and weired wiring, and the bulbs/ballast went out. I just want a simple and reliable set.

Bulb type is H1 and you can buy the adapter from subydude for a great price. Install is pretty easy.... have you not ran the jdm's yet?

I bought the JDM's off a friend and he helped me set them up. I never bothered to ask what kind of set up it was though. All I know is that the ballast is from McCulloch, "DC 12V", 35W, Voltage 9~14v. yeah as you can tell im a complete noob to HID's.

K so H1, the adapter from subydude. thanks

Here is some great info on custom harnesses from caesar @ lightwerkz. (PICS!)

This is especially important for those that want 55W, but also for those that want peace of mind that it has been build solid and correct.

Im saving for a retrofit but that s*** is expensive... Xmas time is tough as well, but when i get some more $ i will def get a retrofit. But for now this kit will suffice and everyone else shall suffer the lhd beam pattern. Its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be honestly. But still I need to fix the pattern.....
