Personally, I would go through a trusted vendor or actual manufacturer's website.

Save your money and wait till you have enough to get a quality setup or retro. Be Thrifty, not spendy.

OEM kits are the best, period.

There are MTECs
McCullochs
Phillips
ModExpress
etc...
etc...

And you can get these from EBay, XenonDepot, ModExpress, or others that sell ay of these kits. Personally, I have the Phillips (4300K) from XenonDepot in my LX470 (4 yrs and counting, no problem) and the 6000K from ModExpress on my TCH (check the FS forum on TN for this vendor) and I don't expect any problems with the kit either. The Phillips cost me like $450 back then, and the ModExpress kit cost me $150 or thereabouts.
