My first kit was like $400.... lol.

I paid like $120 for my Sonata's kit from xenonsupply.com and $45 for my wife's Santa Fe kit from HIDExtra.com. You get a much higher quality kit with xenonsupply. You get Phillips patent bulbs, which are much better. The wiring is so much better on the Xenonsupply kit also.

The biggest difference is color. My Xenonsupply kit is their 6000k kit. The color is very bright white with just a little hint of blue. The HIDExtra kit is also 6000k but it is very blue. Too blue in my opinion. It looks cool, but not factory.

In my opinion, I think the extra money is worth it if the kit is good quality. DDM seems to be pretty mixed. A lot of people had great luck with them, but a lot of people also had problems. HIDExtra gets pretty solid reviews, and their customer service is pretty good. Xenonsupply has fantastic customer support, as they answered any questions I fired at them in an hour or 2. The Sonata is a little tricky because the way the projector is desgned, if you put a regular H7 HID bulb, the return on the bulb casts a shadow in your beam pattern. If you flip the bulb around, and notch out the opposite side of the h7 base, the beam pattern is perfect. Xenonsupply ships a kit made specifically modded to fit the Sonata. Couldn't have been better.
