I have visionx hid euros 6500s and a visionx led light bar. Both work great. I am the third owner since they were installed on my 08. I had one of the hid's quit working. I called them up and they asked me to send both in. I paid for shipping both ways but they completely rebuilt, cleaned, repaired, intensity matched etc on both lights free of charge and did it very quickly. My vote is for visionx. Awesome lights and outstanding customer service.
...hmmm. Are they blue er or white er?

Vision x and hidx are the same light. I got my vision x 4" hid lights at autozone. They are EXACTLY the sane as my buddy's 4" HIDx lights. They also had them in 7" at autozone.

I call BS on this one.
Looking on Vision X's website, I see no 4" HID lights that are even remotely similar to a HIDx or RR light. The difference between my 8.7" 8500s and the 7" RR lights (which is the exact same as HIDx) are very noticeable. Looking at their 6.7" lights, they look the exact same as my 8.7" just smaller. There's no way they're the same light.
Vision X also has dealers all over the place. Somehow I managed to break the lens of my Vision X light the other day (no clue how, but it wasn't on the JK). Sent them an email last night, and received a call from a dealer in Edmonton just now. They'll ship a new reflector & lens to me. Cost... $80 plus shipping.

These should not be confused with the Rugged Ridge HID offroad lights. Those are a much lower quality reverse engineered overseas copy, and IMHO, should be avoided altogether.
