You posted what you thought was a good deal that happened over a year ago. I posted a better deal that happened recently. How am I being negative? If anything, it's more informative. Isn't that part of the point of these message boards in the first place? I'm sorry you take that personally that myself and others have purchased the same kit for a lower price, but that by no means is an attack at you. I didn't call you a thief or a liar, so don't be so sensitive...it's the internet.

I volunteered to make a post about it. Does that mean I get anything for free, or discounts.... no. Everything I've ever purchased there, I paid full price for. But his pricing on E46Fanatics is well below any other vendor on there so I thought I'd hook up some fellow X5'ers, again sorry for trying to be helpful.
How am I biting? I pointed out that your deal isn't as spectacular are you promoting it to be. Fine, you've got a relationship w/ this guy so you're promoting his HID conversion kits and shadowlined badges. I've had the same good experience w/ the people I bought my HID's from, but I also know myself and others have paid less than your seller. I've never purchased from DDM, but I mentioned them because I've heard they offer better deals than where I purchased mine from. You were being helpful in your eyes...I'm here mentioning a better price, so I felt I was being more helpful. I don't understand what you keep apologizing for?

Also, if you read one of the above posts, someone on here got a set w/out resistors and is not getting any errors.

Anyways, have a merry Christmas and sorry for trying to be a contributing member on here.
I'm glad your experience has always been positive. Myself and other members have had a similar positive experience w/ the place we bought from, and they were roughly $40 less. Mine worked for about a month w/o resistors before I had a flicker one evening. I mentioned this to my seller, and w/o any questions, then sent me resistors free of charge. Another member here forgot to ask for the resistors, and they send them to him w/o question also, so whenever I mention the seller, I make sure to note that the person buying them needs to remember to ask for them. If your suppliers HID kits work fine w/o resistors and his site seems dedicated to 3 series vehicles, why would he offer resistors in the first place if they're not even needed? There isn't a problem w/ you contributing to the forums, but unless you have a personally vested interest in them, why are you taking this as a personal attack? Once again, quit apologizing...unless there is a need for it. Here there I don't think there is a need to do so.

Lastly, you should go ahead and post this exclusive pricing for X5 members, but in my opinion, if it's not lower than HIDextra or DDM, then why post it in the first place?

Have a Merry Christmas yourself, but your general, uncalled for defensive tone suggests that you're not really being sincere saying that to me in the first place. Take care.
