well all kits are made in taiwan, or china. i have 6000k ProLumen form john lo, and i love them i think they are made in taiwan.
very BIG diffrence from OEM, driving is so much better, this kit is so good, i can see so much further down the road, and all the side walks etc, i have them in projectors and no glare.

the only thing with that kit is, no high-beam, so you can't hi beam people on the highway to tell them get out of your way when you're going out of town for a long-way drive on 401...

On another topic there are HID kits available that allow you to keep halogen high beams but they cost more, to keep your drl then that is the type of kit you would need to run. As for myself I run a Mcullough H4 kit, I have had it for around 8 months now and havent had any problems with it.

I purchased a kit for about $320 candian (including shipping) plus they marked the value of product to $80 as i requested them so the Candian Duty ***-Raping-**** will not charge that much Duty.
The place on Ebay is called Concept Designs. I have thier 8000k Kit. I'm happy it looks awesome.
You will have to disconnect DRL's, but that's a good thing cause you won't be wasting your bulbs all the time. Therte are HID kits with Hi and LO beam called Bi-Xenons and retail for about $450.00plus shipping which is not bad at all. Most shops in toronto will sell you the Ractive 8000k HID kit for $500.00 which only has a LO beam. I only have the lo-beam kit, I flash my foglights at people on the 401. If you got any questions PM me or whatever.

I would recommend prolumen.
they come with a 1 year warranty.
our affiliate sells its
and its cheap in costs.
and you dont need a fancy HID kit because without retrofitting into your stock housing its going to be **** anyway.

Come on guys....
if you're going to go HID, do it right. Get yourself OEM projectors (bixenon if you do not have separate high/low beams), 4100/4300 OEM D2S bulbs, and rig up a custom wiring harness and you're set.
Don't waste your time with these no-name kits as they'll land you a ticket (improper colour, etc), cause accidents b/c you're blinding everyone with your subpar beam pattern, and they won't last anywhere as long as OEM HID components.
Wouldn't you want a beam pattern like this:
