Some of you I am sure are looking into HID kits. If you listen to Mr. So and So, he would suggest you spend money on a McCulloch HID Kit, or something Bosch, well.....

The corporation which owns McCulloch, is Jenn Feng Industrial Co, Ltd. (www.jennfeng.com)

McCulloch never even made lights.

Simply put - Hella, Philips, Osram, Sylvania, Bosch and McCulloch do not sell or even manufacture HID kits for sale to consumers. If you see companies claiming to sell these kits just roll your eyes.

Still think I am talking out of my ass:
95 different companies making HID Kits in China.

Extremely expensive MTEC:
For all you people who thought MTEC lighting (Maruta) kits were made in Japan, think again. MTEC is a Taiwanese brand with a manufacturing plant in China. A majority of their business goes to Japan. http://www.mtec.biz/a.htm

Basically I am saying buy a 70 dollar kit, and call it a day. They are basically the same, made in the same country, and if you think buying a 200-300 dollar kit thats supposed to be made in Germany or Japan, is really made in those countries post the link, I will try to find the parent company for you.

Just trying to help people out here.

A light and a ballast is a very simple product, compared to other things that come from China such as your cell, computer, and XBOX.

My 70 dollar HID kits, that have lasted years:

Yes they are made in China, but so is your cell phone.

Same kit of my other car:

yes you are right.. But IMO McCulloch's ballasts and igniters are the best in the industry.
