Go here to figure out what bulb you need for any application.

http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...de/default.htm

There is a lot of options to go with on HID's and I have posted like 20 times what to do. Research what is best for your application.

Do not buy from visionbulbs - they screwed me over and when I returned their product I never got a refund - and they won't respond to emails.

On that note - go with VVME - but purchase the kit from their ebay store - "flashplus" and you'll save a little bit more money.
I have the 6000k VVME's and they have a slight blue/purple tint - if I were buying again I might go with their 4300k kit.

Just got on the forum and was reading, I went to a company called MVP Eurosports and they told me they're direct with Xenon Depot and if you buy it and want a good deal from the forum if you give them a thing about your car and pics they'll give you a 5% credit. Just thought I would share that with you. IMO the 4300K is nice has a nice true white view on everything and is very direct.

It is nice to spend $60 on a kit but the kit you get will be a $60 kit. The reason that xenondepot.com sells their kits for +/- $400 is because they are the highest quality kits you can buy. This usually means you are getting Phillips bulbs and Hella/Phillips/McCulloch ballasts. The off-brand items will work but may die sooner, have poor performance and/or not be DOT legal.

I do know for a fact that you can buy a Phillips/Hella conversion kit for well under $400 nowadays so keep looking if you're interested in quality. If you don't care about quality and are looking at price then go with something you find for $150 or less. I would suggest 4,300k (White) or 6,000k (blue/white) color temp for highest brightness rating and street legal color.

Get the Valeo/philips/hella kits off ebay. Stock xenons have valeo though. I recently got these from ebay for $210 and HID converted my car. They are awesome. But they come with the 4300K bulbs.
