    I would love to know this as well. Where could I get the kits where the ballast and igniter are one and not separate units?

      i want to get an HID kit for my mazda as well. as for a good seller, just go to their feedback and see what people are saying about the product. if its **** off the bat then people are going to give a neutral or negative rating.
      i would also be using the stock housing and everything.


      also, anyone having tips for removing the hazing after 14 years ?

              I have an ebay kit in my Black Mx-3 10K dont remember who i bought them from but they work great and they where $90 low beam only a year ago.

              I just bought a kit with high and low beams for the White Mx-3 just showed up at my house havent been home yet to install them yet. Im at college. Will be installing them tommoro night when i get home.

              I bought them from DDM tuning
              http://www.ddmtuning.com/hidkihidbuhi.html.

              I bought the first kit with the Slim balasts,55w upgrade and the high/low upgrade 10,000k in color all for $111.
              The kits start as low as $65 plus shipping without the high/low and 55w upgrade.

                lol I have a headlight out right now. The low beam on one silverstar burned out so I switched it with the oem one. Now this other low beam is out on the other silverstar, so I just said F*ck this. I am driving with an OEM high beam and a silverstar high beam and it's so dull that I have passed cops and oncoming traffic without any problems. I have had someone flash their headlights at me once, and it's been a month or two. Pretty sad...

                and BlackMazdamx-3, you have to post some pics when you get those installed. :D

                    I want an 8000k kit, but that's just me. It's still better light than what I've had. I wonder what would happen if you got the 55w 10000k kit, because the website says that some of the color will wash out due to the higher output. (mx-3, i suppose that's what you did..)

                    I also did some research on the DDM kit. They use the same bulbs as the apexcone kit, and they hold up well from what I've heard.

                      Thanks for the link blackmazdamx3 . Some good prices. Also I like that they use philips bulbs and have a lifetime warrenty. I think you just made my choice. I won't go anymore than 6000 though. That blue tint isn't for me. I like clear lights with great visability.
