Which is better for a daily driver?

Neither. Both kits are sold for off-road or show use, and HID retrofits in halogen housings are illegal for on-road use in most US states. For street driving, use a legal halogen or LED replacement.

Is the Innovited bundle worth $17 more?

If you need two headlights done, yes. The Innovited bundle includes two ballasts and two bulbs, while the Xentec listing is one kit, so two Xentec kits cost about $64 versus $48.98 for Innovited.

Innovited states over 2.5x halogen bulb life without fading. Xentec claims its digital ballast extends bulb life by 30% but gives no hour figure. Neither publishes a warranty-backed lifespan number here.

Will either fix headlight flicker?

Only Innovited offers an optional relay/anti-flicker harness. Xentec lists no harness option, so cars that need one may flicker or throw bulb-out warnings with the Xentec kit.

Do both fit a 9005 high beam?

Both are 9005 kits. Xentec names Acura TL 1999-2003 and 2009-2014 high beam. Innovited lists 9005 but its make list (Volvo, Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Dodge) is generic, so confirm your bulb code before buying.

Which has the smaller ballast?

Xentec. Its ballast measures 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.5 in. Innovited calls its ballast slim but publishes no dimensions.
