HID projector Headlight question

Has anyone bought these ready to use plug & play headlight assemblies?
http://www.protuninglab.com/hid-2lhp-ram06jm-tm.html

How was fitment?
Are they functional?
Was the installation easy?

I'm thinking about buying a set. Would you recommend these or are there better brands for the same price or lower?

Thanks in advance!

On another thread, this was discussed in depth. I, as well as several other members, have had issues with the lights Flickering when the HID's are used... i can't recall which company it is that sells an HID kit that comes with an additional part to keep the lights from FLickering while they are one... You'd have to search the other threads for the right guy that sells the whole kit.

Thanks! I have also been doing a lot of reading on other HID websites and am learning a lot.
With the flickering you need the 50watt resisters to prevent it.

I am just looking to get the best bang for the buck!
I really like the Halo look and don't just want to have the stock housing with just HID lights.

FWIW---IMHO-------www.retro-solutions.com These guys seem to now what they are doing(after answering my 100 questions)---i have my kit waiting on warmer weather to install----harness is complete with plug and play plus the proper resistors----6000K in 55W HID package(a true 55Watts---not a 35watt ballast stepped up to 55Watt which has a short ballast life if done this way)----out the door with bulbs---about $200.00--Steve is the guy to talk to.(PS i have no affiliation/financial gain by recommending this company)Cheers---hope this helps.

i second DWeiler

i purchased a retrosolutions retro fit kit. great quality, all the parts you need.

it is also very easy to install yourself, i would recommend using your own headlights. very easy to bake in the oven just like the shops do to sell complete headlight kits. you can google the videos online or ask the guys from retrosolutions or lightwerkz
