Default help me choose a reliable HID conversion kit

I see alot kits out there, for real nice prices, I'm looking for something thats not likely to fry any of the wires!..maybe something with a beefier wiring harness...looking for something in the 10-14k color range...

I just got my Techone kit today(Thanks George!). 8000K. it doesn't come with a relay harness but making one of those is real easy.

I read alot about HID's before I purchased one and the one thing I like about the Techone kit is that it has a built in ignitor(sp?). I read many places that said you should look into ones with built in vs. seperate ignitor cause the seperate ones tend to go out quicker. if that is true or not who knows but I went with a built in anyway.

THe best HID.. is the real HID.. iv done this on both my vehicles.. tC/CIvic. I bought 2 sets of wrecked Audi a4 Head light assemblies.. you take out the projectors and the auto aim feature.. and mod the projector into the factory head lamp or aftermarket headllamp/.. on the civic i had projectors already so it went easy.. and projector headlights come wiht a realy harness.. aiming after the retrofit is the hardeset. but you get the best HID look from real HIDs.. and wrecked headlights costed jeabout 40-50 per set. If you do go with this idea.. i have many words of advice and do's and dont's you shuld and shouldnt do during this "retrofit" PM me or post and ill help you out
