Default Hids??? Who sells good ones

My truck already has them but the pass bulb was out when I got it and I went to a local stereo shop and bought a replacement a few weeks ago. The damn thing is out again. No I didn't touch the bulb. Thanks

before you buy anymore HIDS make sure you have this wiring harness for chevy trucks
HID Kits, BMW Aftermarket Bumpers & Lighting, DEPO - DDM Tuning

also if just the bulb keeps going out you most likely wanna check the ballast not the bulb.

and what 06murder said OEM are the best.

I use DDM HID's on all my vehicles. I've had 55W 6000K ones in my R1 for 3 years and not a single issue. I put 35W 4500K ones in '01 ECSB for both the high and low beams. There's has only been one issue which is occasionally one low beam bulb wouldn't fire with the engine running. I replaced the bulb and fixed it. Not running the relay harness on either vehicle, but I do have one here just in case. They are pretty easy to make yourself if you need one.

Cool

Tempestdirect has been awesome hids .. Ive had xentec and they work great but the tempestdirect ones are brighter... both brands in slim ballasts...ive had some other cheap ebay hids with the big ballasts and have had trouble with them not firing up when first turning on .. Most NBS need the relay to get more juice from the battery inmy experience with them but my NNBS never had an issue with coming on except for the big ballasts that originally came with the aftermarket projector headlights i installed..no need for relay in my experience with my nnbs
Dont know if any sponsors on here sell hids i havent looked....

Hit up a user on here named bangbangskeetskeet(Travis) he sells some great quality units with literally one bulb and one ballast going bad of all the ones he's sold in the last 3 or 4 years.
