VVME hid kits are pretty popular on this forum. I don't have them (unfortunately), but I have heard a lot of good things about them.

I'm sure if you wait a little bit someone with personal experience will post on this thread. Or you could just search for it. I never really heard about any problems. Everyone says they're a great kit especially for that cost. 4300k would be more OEM style

everyone I know who has them seems to like them, I have heard they can either get to you really quick or take forever to ship but everyone is eventually happy when they get them.

CAB basically summed it up. They're good lights, but some people have had wait times approaching three weeks after they order. Others get them in a few days - it's hit or miss. But they work well and look well too.

The brightest white that you'll have is 4300k (that's the color temperature of OEM HIDs). I have 6000k and actually prefer it - the light is still very white but it's a little richer and warmer than the 4300k. Either will do you fine though.

I understand that - I didn't word it right I guess. When I see my 6000k light on the road, and see my buddy's 4300k, the 6000k just seems to look richer - that's what I meant.

In photography blue and purple are cold colors, and
red and orange are warm.
