i have Hyper White head lights which look nice but they obviously arent HIDs i was wondering if anyone could recommend a certain brand or place to get them for under $100

I ordered from DDM tuning as I've seen others recommend on this site. I should receive them tomorrow
 






I ordered from DDM as well, http://www.ddmtuning.com/hidkihidbuhi.html, it took them over 3 weeks to ship, and they shipped me the wrong bulbs, I ordered the 9007 Hi/lo option and only got the single beam set up. They emailed me a Return shipping label that I can use to ship the bulbs back and as soon as they see movement on the tracking number they will ship me the correct bulbs. As of right now, I think I would avoid ordering from them, until they can dig themselves out of the hole they are in.

I recommend the VVME products as well, just installed them last night in my 96 X. I ordered them on Tuesday last week and they were delivered that Friday. I have a thread in the Performance Lighting forums if you want to see them.
 






awesome thanks for the suggestions. im currently trying to find out what i want to do with my XLT its really clean so i dont quite want to take it off road and i have a pretty nice sound system in it. any suggestions?
 






Not Cheap but good quality... McCulloch
 






Little update, got my DDM Tuning order in and installed a couple months ago. Everything has been great so far, I have no complaints and would deal with them again definitely.
 






I ordered a set of vvme hids from mydepots on ebay. It took a month to get to me. Most people get their lights in a week but mine took forever. It took filing with paypal to finally get my lights. Overall though the price I paid I couldn't complain. They look great as well. The quality IMO was quite nice as well.
 






I got my HID's at Mobile HID ( http://www.mobilehid.com ). They state they are waterproof and shock proof. I can verify both. I had them on my 2000 Ranger (headlights and foglights) and the foglight ballasts were put in front of the tire. Never had a problem with them. I rear ended a Chevy Tahoe on the freeway when an idiot slammed on his brakes in the middle of the freeway doing 65 mph, and took out one of the bulbs. I put the working bulb into the other socket, and it still works, even after both ballasts were smashed by the Tahoe hitch.

I just ordered my new bulbs today so I can transfer them to my ExSpo. When I originally ordered the HID's, it took 5 days to get them. I ordered them on a Friday, and received them on Wednesday. Customer service was very helpful and friendly before I purchased the kit, and they answered all my questions with no problems. I ordered my headlights first, then about two months later I ordered the fog light kit, and the HID kit actually arrived before my stock fog lights did from Ford.

My current ExSpo doesn't have fog lights either, so I will order some fog lights and an HID kit and see which one comes in first again (I bet the HID will).

Here is the Dual 9007 kit ( http://www.mobilehid.com/specialorder.htm ) which is $360, but worth the money if I say so. Or you can buy the single 9007 ( http://www.mobilehid.com/hid-kits.htm ) for $180. I highly recommend Mobile HID, considering what both sets of my HID's went through, and they still work, even with two of my ballasts being smashed. They aren't cheap compared to other HID's, but you definately get your moneys worth.

The kits are also Plug and Play, with the needed relays and wiring harness, so there is no worry about splicing into your existing wiring.
 






i use ebay(lol) but i got 50W hids(significantly brighter than 35w's) and they have lasted far longer than my first set of McCulloch's...i spent about $95 a piece...good stuff.
 






got mine from VVME quick and easy very happy with them and the 58.00 pricetag
