Check out www.ultrabrightlights.com, one of our sponsors. They've got a great group buy going on right now in their forum on this site:

I have a complete Phillips kit at 4300K. I love it. Anything over 5000K you are paying for the color of the bulb and it is not worth it. 4300K is what comes stock on all cars that have HIDs from the factory.

I have mine from ultrabrightlight.

Excellent kit. They rate their color a little bit differently tho, so their 5300K kit is completely pure white.

The only downside is that HID kit will never look as good as OEM HID like the ones on an S2000 for example. There's something about the projector that is different.

IMO, you are better off with Sylvania silverstar...

I am just saying that any aftermarket HID kit won't match an OEM HID. He's better off saving money on silverstar rather than putting 300 to 500 in a hid kit.

I also got my kit from our UltraBrightLights sponsor. My 5300k kit is pretty nice, but the color tint coming out my 00 integra projectors makes them look less obvious that they are HID's....super bright and no big hot spots or glare..
