Default Where did you get your HIDs?

Hey forum, I'm looking to buy 6000K HIDs for my 03'.
Just curious as to which company I should get it from.

I'm looking to get them for my running lights I think? ( the little 4 watt bulb that's in the high beam housing)
Low beams
High beams
Abd Fog lights.
Prices+links are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
~Boss

Sorry for the double post, I don't know how to edit my post on the iPhone version of this site.

Anyway,
My passanger low beam head lamp stabilizer is broken. I am going to get the reinforced piece.
I understand that these plastic pieces are extremely brittle. Because I'm going to change all the head lamps should I get another stabilizer for the driver side low beam lamp?

Final question, does the same thing apply for my high beam? Are they also brittle where I need to get the reinforced pieces?

Thanks again
~Boss

Boss Fury, I have gotten my stuff through a bunch of different vendors on e-bay. For the most part, I have had good luck. The last car I have put the HIDs into is being a real PITA with about every problem known to man. So, I can not quite blame the HIDs for being the issue other than having 2 bad ballasts at one point (both failed at the same time).

The good thing is that our cars do not need additional wiring to make the HIDs function properly.

ON a side note, I know you said you want HID's for your running lights. They do not make HIDs for those. THey make LEDs for in there, but not HID bulbs.

I put LEDs in the running/parking lights (whatever you want to call them) and it was pretty plug-and-play; a real easy way to make your car look nicer. I got some for $10/set online and did those, the three on each side of the car and the license plate lights (a total of 5 sets) since they're all the same type of bulb. Even better, you don't get hyperflash when you put regular LEDs in the side turn signals.
