and they are both black? Maybe its just the way they market them on the piranha site. I dont think they are ugly but I dont like the look which is why I have never really looked that much into them. For a product that cost a fair wad of money, well on the piranha site anyway, they have very little info available on them. This is most likely why.Quote:

With cheap HIDs the starter/ignighter is very variable in its reliability, and the component most likely to fail.
well I guess only time will tell.:)Quote:

Thats the joys of electronics I suppose. I have had super cheap stuff last for ages. I still have a cheapo einhel angle grinder (what they were called before they came GMC) and its still going, its 13yrs old now.Quote:

Wow!
Thank you to all who replied, seems like a split view on these, i personally like the look of them...and i guess it really is a gamble, but as stated sometimes we buy top brand stuff and get complete crap or the reverse of that can happen.
I will continue to look around as i have only just discovered this market of lower priced HIDs... Sometimes i wish there was no choice :p

The one thing that has disappointed me with cheap spotties (HID included) has been the dreadful beam patterns they produce. That alone puts me off trying any more. A well designed reflector will not just make a hole in the night.
If you are'nt too keen on lashing out on complete spotties.. this may be a more economical way if you already have some otherwise OK ones
