Default Best HID available

Hi guys, im in the market for some hids for my prejectors and I cant decide between brands. All I really have to go on is pictures and you cant really tell the difference. I am looking for an 8000k kit and have been looking at these brands; techone, prolumen, mccolluch, oznium, ect. Any feedback on these would be very helpful.

it dosent matter.. your not making sense.. you have crapbox ebay junk a$$ projectors, and you want junka$$ 8000K bulbs, so why the f do you want quality? you dont have quality now.. 4300K is what comes stock in HID equiped OEM vehicles.. anything more than that and you lose output. yer gonna glare the crap out of people w/ that ball of unfocused blue light of 8000K... do all other motorists a favor and keep them stock..

maybe he'll get a quality kit now....then decide someday he wants to spend a grand or 2 so he can upgrade to bmw or s2k projectors....so what are you offering to him? he's asking what the best kit is....he can't tell the difference between 6k and 8k in the pictures...notice the comment "you can't really tell the difference." so whats a guy gonna do? ask for help! and hey what a great idea.

magyver....we're well aware of where you stand right now...however you're contributing nothing to this thread....the question was "what are the best HIDs available."

everyone here is thankful to hear you voice your opinion that 8k is not what he wants. however, did you answer the question, or did you flame him? i'd say the latter. so give him the benefit of the doubt that someday he might decide he wants to upgrade. and maybe thank him for the fact that without other people's opinions, he could end up with a junk bulb kit, and his headlights would glare even more. id be the first one laughing if you got in a wreck cause you saw him comin down the road with his eBay HID bulbs, instead of some nicer high quality bulbs, and you crashed when his eBay bulbs glared in your face too much.

just informing him of the facts.. and letting him know that it dosent matter the quality of his HID's as he dosent have the best setuip... so having the best HID's isnt gonna benefit him.. and he dosent sound too keen on doing a retro judging by his questions/comments.. so yes, i did help him, im letting him know what to expect... so he wont be surprised when his cutoff is crap, his output is crap, and his glare is crap... thats all... u guys telling what he only wants to know dosent prepare him for the actual result.. id rather be warned first b4 spending alot and then not getting the output desired..

so how again didnt i help him? giggity

ok, im not a newb on the forums, im completely aware of retorfitting hids nd such but i dont have the money for that im in school. Im not an idiot, I know that putting hids in the projectors wont be near as good and retrofitting, but I am really happy with my projectors(Which are not from ebay). So let me ask again because I know there are a lot of you with hids and very few that retrofitted. Whats the best brand. If you gonna flame and it makes you feel good to do so, enjoy yourself I could careless, but some opinions on the kits available would be nice as well. O and mgyver dont be such a @ss man.

Prolumen are highly praised for their HIDs. Oznium makes a great HID kit as well. McCollugh (sp*) is also highly praised for their kits (althouth a little bit pricier than other kits.) I bought G.T HIDs... quality seems to be great and the price is good to. I have no other experiences to compare to though.
