Well there is no considering on my part; I am absolutely in on this! I got to see these lights in action for the first time in August on very dark and even foggy roads out in the middle of PA back country. "Unbelievable" cannot describe the difference in this lighting and the quality of the build on the units.
I have an H4 kit installed on my car. That alone took countless hours to get the right install, so there is no question for me about the labor involved in these kits. These are absolutely 110% better than any H4 option. Slapping together some OEM equipment won't get you the look of the BMW unless they are put together correctly. I would put these head-to-head with the HID's in my 7-series BMW any day.

Wow finally someone is doing HID the right way. That razor sharp cutoff is what sold me. Reminds me of the HID's in my old Evo. Also, good call on the 4300k, it'll be pure white without any of that ricer blue 8000k nonsense.

I wanted to clarify because I realized that I misspoke earlier. The aftermarket ballast comes with a 1yr warranty... but NOT the mitsubishi unfortunately.

Using any bulbs over 4300k reduces light output and would be pointless. My friend has a reflector HID kit on his 240sx. I went out and took some comparison pictures. You'll notice the reflector HID kit shines light everywhere and has NO cutoff.

There are a lot of young kids ending up with these cars, putting crap parts on, and thrashing them.

If we buy the kit with the aftermarket ballast, would it be easy to find if it were to blow out in the future?

It will not fit the FC, The FD uses curved style housings.
If you want projector housings, Go to the link I posted, Those I were told fit the FC, The fc uses a generic style housing shared by alot of early 90's/late 80's cars.

The quality of the projector can also affect the light pattern and dispersion, when I was researching these for my other car I was told the best was the S2000 projector, however they wouldn't fit in my BMW housings. And if you see a S2000 coming down the road at night you will probably agree! So I had always planned to put those projectors in my FD.
