scroll down to the 6th post. There's a large pic outlining the details about the scam. Basically they were falsely advertising the color temps of their HID bulbs and their coilovers had a high rate of failure, so they stopped making a lot of automotive parts and moved on to other industrial stuff.

interesting, well i think i got my 6000k bulbs, which i asked for.

would it still be a good idea to get the raptor hids?

well so far i go the 35w 5k slim ballest.. and they seem to be pretty fine.

Skip the slims. Stick with the fatties.

I ordered 5000K and, according to these *****es, got 4700K. Fine by me.

As for springs, thats what you get.

I ordered slim ballasts, one failed and theyre sending me replacement fatties. All I gotta do is pay shipping there, which is like $10.

Im satisfied.

Eh after one of my ballasts failed after about 2 months I just threw them in a box and put them in my garage. I didn't even want a replacement.

Ive have the cheap rAtors and they have worked for two years without fail, and they are the slim ballasts. I also have some in my fog lights, ddm has the best kits for the price.

Same here. I just roll around with some Sylvania's now. No complaints.

I have the raptor 55w fat ballast, they've been working fine for over a year......their bulb temps are pretty accurate from my experience since I own 5k, 6k, and 8k all from DDM

luck of the draw I guess
