So, the question is, How do you rate the HID kits you get? We have thought about doing this post for some time now, but found this to be the perfect opportunity!
Our HID Headlight Rating System is based on several components, all of which play into the overall user experience. Also note, that ratings can change based on circumstance. You will see our 6-month review rating below… if there have been issues within the first six months of having the lights installed, that will affect your score. Other examples will be noted below:
Rating Scale: From 1 – 10 with a Max total of 100 points per kit:
