HID question....this good?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2456837598

They are selling a 5300k KIT....isn't the lower the kelvin...the bigger light output? I want a pure white shade....I heard it was like 6000k....but factory Lexus etc. use 4300k right? I just want to ge tthe perfect HID kit.

Most of you will say "just go thru VXCL" but the thing is he hasn't responded to my PM for the past week or so....I would really want his projectors...but I don't know how to do a projector installation...even with instructions I get scared that I will mess up, so I don't even wanna try it.

Please respond with something useful, thank you

This is the worst brand to buy they do not last word of warning stay clear from these!!!

I know no one that has had a kit made by this company that has not had any problems why do you think this guy is selling his kit!!??

Stay O.E.M!! like philips and Hella - if you don't believe me just cruise on over to http://hidforum.com and ask!

Projector is the only way to go these cheap kits are just reflector kits so much light is reflected at other drivers.

For the best light output never go above 4300k anything higher light is just traded off for colour.

I am currently going to be retroing a set off honda S2000 projectors into my Acura Cl headlights. I just need to pick up a pair of spare headlights sometime next month.

Alright, sorry but i have a question resulting on this topic...( ) I bought a Eurolite HID Kit...it claims to come with Philips Ballasts and Hella Bulbs (or visa virsa.....Philips bulbs and Hella Balasts)

Anyway, should i be able to trust this Eurolite HID kit??

Anyone heard anything bad about the one i have? Should i be worried that some night my balast might blow up or somethin??!!??
