Xentec HID for AE?

Just found this kit from ebay, has anyone tried this for the AE? The brand is called Xentec. They look ok and USA manufactured, not those cheapy made in China.

The price is very good too when compare to Alpine HID. Anyone familiar with this brand?

Too bad to hear that, but what's wrong with it?

A friend of mine bought some of these for his mazda speed 3 and they were pretty bad...I suggest DDM HID's if your looking for a quality aftermarket kit. Also, you'll want to get wiring to run like the Alpine kit as the stock wiring doesn't draw enough power to ignite the ballast of an HID kit

I thought I can simply hook up the hid kit to the stock wiring, so how should I hook up?

Look around for the alpine diy its the same process as far as install and on the ddm website, there's the wire kit. It would be nice if it didn't require the wiring kit, but unfortunately it does. Just not enough juice to power the hid kit.
