I just don't understand this +$45 for Phillips bulb... And some info that is being posted on here. So I was swaying between this kit Vs Morimoto's h11hid kit. So I gave TRS an email....
"Hello Dan,
Thanks for the email! We wouldn't recommend ever installing an HID system without the appropriate wiring harness. Working or not, that's not the correct way to install equipment like this. I cannot speak on intensity differences when comparing other brands to Morimoto, but I can say that those aren't likely Philips bulbs you're referring to. Philips is an OEM bulb supplier and provides factory HID vehicles with their bulbs. They don't actually manufacture any aftermarket, rebased halogen bulbs. At best, those bulbs may use the same piece of glass that Philips uses, but Philips didn't make that bulb.
That being said I do have an example of our kit compared to another popular one on the market that a customer provided a couple of weeks ago, see attached.
I would anticipate the quality of the Morimoto to be considerably higher than any other equipment though.
Let us know if there's anything else we can help out with!
