I bought a set and when opened it appeared to have been haphazardly packed.No sleeves on bulbs ballasts not in the foam slot,How were yours?

You obviously are not a confirmed buyer of kensun hids. They come packaged in a jewelry box inside of a foam bed and plastic tubes for the bulbs.

Mine did have sleeves on the bulbs but were not put in the foam cutouts either. The packaging was very poor almost looked like they were just thrown in but I have had no trouble getting mine to work and still work great.

Mine has sleeves but was just thrown in the box / case not organized and did not work till i get replacements

Mine were perfect this last time although I have received sloppy packaging before but it did not interfere with functionality

mine had big gaps in the molding of the side, would have taken in moisture for sure if installed. So I returned them, and then got charged restocking fees, and return fees, spent money, but had no item. Not a good deal! they were cheap, but they did look nice! So now instead, I used a polish kit on my original "OEM" lights, and they look brand new. Should have started there instead.

the halogen that it comes with are great but very hot, i used my light in a cigar humidor and replaced them with led spots (EVER 5W LED G10 bulbs also from amazon) and the light is great and very cool if that matters. i must warn you however, the packaging was horrendous, i had to return the first order as it appeared someone ran over it with a truck and there were missing parts. the replacement package was just as bad but all the parts were there. i decided to give it a shot and installed, so far its working fine.

Yes...You do need a ballast. One each side for each bulb. I ordered the Xenex ballasts. They come in a pair. Seem to be working fine.

the lamps never arrived; I got a refund. So, I have no idea. (What does that tell you?) Good luck!

You would plug them into your ballast. We have installation instructions we can email you once you have purchased, just let us know when you purchase and we will send them to you.

Stick a screwdriver into the open end of the socket. Hold the socket and just slam the handle of the screwdriver down into your workbench. That did it for me. It destroys the packaging though. I would just return them, they're pretty terrible.

I used that bulb in a digital and a magnetic 1000 watt ballasts worked fine but only lasted 6 months and no warranty. I replaced it with one from a local grow store with a year warranty for $60 and don't have to mess with damaged bulbs in shipping and the wait.

I have not had that problem either. Other than buying a good bulb and being careful not to bump them ESPECIALLY when they are on I would say to be sure you are buying correct bulbs (wattage) for the domes. The domes have a maximum on the box of what you should put in them.

Hamhock is correct; not to be found in your average retail store at all. Also, if possible before ordering- make sure it is the bulb you need and not the ballast! I bought two bulbs only to find out later it was the ballast which had failed, argh!

Yes, (It's very dim in the sunlight but if it ain't on contact the manufacture or whoever), bulb could have come loose in shipping. Is everything nicely screwed in?

Shouldn't have a problem with the install. Put a set in about 2 months ago and they still work great. I believe when I installed them it said 22w on each of the ballasts, website says 50w per set. Either way it's less than the 35 watts that each halogen bulb uses.

Yes... mine were wobbly as well. Need to handle with care. In fact, to date I've had to return 1 of 2 bulbs because they were broken. Need to look closely at them. For some reason the packaging doesn't hold up well.

Look again - it's in there. I've owned two of this particular model and they do in fact come with the bulb - or are supposed to. If I remember correctly the bulb is wrapped in a type of foam wrapper and then is packaged in a small block of styrofoam. I don't have the original packaging from either light otherwise I'd be able to tell you for sure. Sorry.

I'm still trying to contact the seller myself cuz my brights don't work on my passage side and I even replaced the bulb. But I even got an answer back. But I tried to contact the seller though amazon. I'm not going to be much help for u sorry. I dont know how to get a hold of them.

I have wondered the same thing. I have not tried it because I dont want to waste money on bulbs that dont function with this light. Having worked with lighting extensively through out the years i dont think it will work., the ballast probably wont light them and if it does they may not light fully. If any one else tries it please let the rest know. Sorry this wasn't much help

In response to Mc Anthony Cagas Tadle, I've had a very good experience with their customer service and they've replaced the bulbs with little questioning. I didn't even have to return the original bulbs. I've heard they've done the same for others with the ballast. Nothing wrong with the original bulbs as it turned out that the wiring was backwards on one of the ballets. I've had my kit for about 6 months now with no flickering or any other issues.
