Default hid question...just curious why is the stage2 kit from hids4less $750 vs the stage2

kit from supreme power parts at $540. Anyone have experience with both/either- just curious if one system is really that much better than the other?

Default hids4less is trying to rip you off on what stage2 is, that's why..

Stage2 is simply a 6000k bulb versus the 4500k stage 1 bulb. The difference is a stage2 bulb is a more bluish color than a stage 1. Some consider stage2 to be too ricey, others like it.

HIDS4LESS wants you to believe stage2 is more than it is, which is why they charge $200 more.

Buy from Eric at SPP, they sells the philips kit, it's the best, and Eric is a good guy.

Default I called the guy at HID4less.com and asked him why stage II was more and...

he told me some crap about rare bulbs and they get 50% of all the ones in the world or something. Then he proceeded to tell me they allmost sued SPP because they stole pictures from the HID4less website. I guess he was trying to convince me to buy from him by telling me this.

What a goof ball. I told him i don't care about your legal matters your price is way high for the stage 2 bulbs so see ya.

Default Dunno dude just moved to cali 2 months ago and...

getting settled. I went down to SD one weekend and it is the only place around SoCal that resembles back east as far as bar district goes. In orange county everything is so spread out there is no central location to go to. Tijuana was a mistake..never go back there again

I dunno hit me up and keep in touch I may bounce down one day.
