ok i'm gonna rant a little
i like to support site sponsors but what makes your kit worth 190$ compared to the multiple kits i've bought for 70$ a peice
i know you get what you pay for (most of the time) but i see that you only sell the slim ballasts that would've made things alot easier but you then have the problem of fitting in the ignitor and i think the exta 3/8 of an inch in the ballast would be easier to deal with than having two boxes to deal with no offense but i've just experienced that most internet companies are selling the same products i could have gotten from elsewhere minus the markup i'm not getting any personal gain from this i just want people to get the most for their money (its the american way)
i have bought from many site sponsors just because they are site sponsors but at 2 1/2 times the price you better be installing these for me
comparitevely its like buying a chevy 1500 for 65000 or a ford f150 for 25000
i'm not that big of a chevy fan

oke
if my thinking is skewed in anyway please inform me of my folly thats why i visit

I definitely understand your concern. We're a manufacturing company in business since 1999. We produce high quality lighting products. You are correct that the ignitor is separate, but I haven't heard of any problems with installation.
There is a lot of confusion regarding why our products are better. Please allow me to take the time to help you understand our product better.
We do sell only digital ballasts for many reasons. When comparing digital ballasts to standard magnetic ballast, there are many differences.
First, the size. Our ballasts are typically
1/2 or even 1/3 the weight. This makes for a heavier product, and also a more difficult installation.
Lite Eyes ballasts also have
attached mounting tabs. The standard ballast requires a special bracket which makes installation even more difficult.
Lite Eyes digital ballast has a
faster startup than standard ballasts.
Lite Eyes ballast can
reach full brightness in under 1 minute, as opposed to standard ballasts that can take 5,10, or even 20 minutes (depending on the quality of the components).
Lite Eyes digital ballast
produces less heat than standard ballasts. Since we use high quality components, and an aluminum casing with heat vents, this helps to keep the heat to a minimum.
Lite Eyes digital ballasts have a
safety shut off in the event of a short circuit, or insufficient (less than 9V), or even excessive voltage (greater than 16V).
Light output (Lumens) is generally shorter over time with a magnetic ballast.
When comparing to other digital ballasts manufacturers, the case may look similar, but the components are not always the same.
The
components inside our ballasts are high quality. One major component that is often compromised at the factory is the capacitors used. We use high temp and
higher quality rated capacitors. This helps prolong the life of the ballast and other components.
Some of the other components we use (the power transformer, and transistors - which are important components), are also high quality.
These are just a few things that are different from our kits.
One example of product comparison, is the standard aftermarket headlight bulbs. I know Piaa and Sylvania silverstars are a popular choice, but these bulbs are relatively more expensive than their counterparts on ebay. But why do people continue to buy the Piaa and Sylvania brand bulbs, and swear by them. When looking at them side by side, they may appear to be very similar, just a headlight bulb with painted glass, and maybe a special xenon gas inside, but if you compare the actual manufacturing, you'll notice one product is manufactured to be an inexpensive product.
Our prices have significantly reduced over the years. $190 for our high quality parts is a very reasonable price. I do see what you mean when comparing to other HID kits on ebay, but please know that the parts on ebay are different, and the seller is not always truly representative of themselves. By this, I mean I've seen some posts on the forums about people not being able to get a hold of the seller when there is a problem, and the worst thing someone can do is to leave negative feedback on their ebay account. When there is 98% positive feedback for someone with 1,000's of feedback, relatively speaking, that's a lot of unhappy people, but when you're pushing product the way they are, who cares, right? I believe this is the mindset of the general ebay seller (not all of them, but some).
Lite Eyes has committed staff to help on the forums to help mainstream our products. This is why we have become site sponsors, and you will see we try to be helpful and answer any questions people may have.
I hope this can help answer your questions. We are here to help out.
