Default best bang for the buck H.I.D.

So what H.I.D kit has the best bang for the buck...ie... quality, lighting, color. Lots of people on here have different kits. I got a friend tryin to sell me some HKS h.i.d. kit for $250 but never even heard of the company. He said they are good quality bulbs from Germany. Please post of your experiences with ur H.I.D kits.. and pics if possible. Lots of cheap kits on here going for like $160 or less but r they worth it?

Did you buy them from operatic at www.3Bspec.com? I've read nothing but good stuff about his business, and the quality of his h.i.d. kits.... I just wanted to see if there were any other competitors out there with good quality h.i.d's

No I have them in my low beams, and the install takes 15 min or less.

I got mine from Operatic here, for 140 shipped, comes with 1 yr warranty and harness to so they draw power from the battery instead of burning up the stock harness. GREAT customer service too, his entire thread proves it. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...r=asc&&start=0

I picked mine up from www.speedchrome.com for 185 shipped. You just have to get in a group buy. They look pretty damn hot! He also has Red, Green, Purple Pink and Blue.
