[QUOTE="fbi90909, post: 5396676, member: 568679"] negative.. not all 20-40 dollar ballast have the same durability/quality of a 100+ costing ballast. yes they may have the same circuit boards but they may not have the quality in components.. ie.. lets say this 40 ballast is the Audopipe GD3001 and the 100$ ballast is the RE 12.1... yeah they both have the same curcuit borads and majority components but are manufactured differently and perform differently.. some ballast are waterproof some aren't.. some have a quick heat up time for the bulbs and others don't. some flicker on warm up, some don't.. some last longer than others. do you know what the failure rate is on ballast and or bulbs between cheap and expensive? i don't.. but i wouldn't want some cheap *** set that could fail in a short period of time just because they cost 40 bucks..
