Default Projector Headlights

I'm looking for the best Headlights to buy for a 01 and Im not really about to; just go and buy some off of Ebay. Does one have any recommendation for the best HID kit and what color looks the best.
Thank you a head of time.

I'm usually skeptical of eBay but Depot/Helix e-code headlights are the way to go. As for color, the factory xenons are 4300k. 4500k-ish is supposedly the best as far as light output goes. I run 6000k and am very happy with them. I wouldn't go any higher than 8000k, even thats a but too purple for me and you start losing light output up that high.

If you purchase quality headlamps like the Depos and then use a 35w HID kit you won't have to worry about anything melting.

6000k was a bit too blue for my tastes, so I changed to 5000k and like it much better. YMMV, of course.
