Default Anyone here using aftermarket HID?

Anyone here actually bought one and installed one? I am talking about the whole kit with ballasts and all.

Also I heard that sometimes aftermarket HID will cause your electrical relays to fry, is this true?

Default I just fried my bulb last week, don't get kits that are over 5000K...

I had a HID-Plus kit, from Germany, paid alot for it, thinking it was a good investment, Looked great for 3mths, and now I am driving with one light on. I will cost me over $300 to replace the bulbs.
Think twice.
