Hella and philips. all the guys will say.. get an OEM ballast conversion (*ballasts out of Audi, BMW or watever*) D2S (projector) or D2R (reflector) retrofit it to 9006 w the 9006 ring off ebay for $30 plus shippin..

if i were u.. i would go for the OEM, all other 9006 kits.. eh, i am not soo sure if u can trust'em to last u a lifetime.

PEACE!

forget the oem hid

get a projector setup, it is worth the money 1000x over, if you wanted the most light output, i would go with a bixenon setup with the hi and low integrated into the one projector, if you want more color, go with a valeo ece or a honda s2000 projector

a typical setup should run you about 500 for all parts, hids, bulbs, trim, projectors and all, but if you can install them it will be more, VXCL and I both sell projectors, i only have entry level projectors right now which are a H7 projector, which are bad, i have experimented with H1 projectors and loved the output for the money, the H7 will run you about 75 bucks shipped

bi xenon is around 200-230 depending on what ones bosch or hella, valeo can go from 150 to 200, ece is the best cutoff some say and it gives off the most color flicker, reg xenon is about 150, h1 is 60 plus shipping and i fou want trim rings those are more but they help contain the light and direct it out the projector more


OEM hid kits are not worth the 400 bucks or so, but if you spend a little more and take your time and do some nice research you can come up with a cool setup
