I recommend hids from this ebay store dealtime321. I bought them last july and they worked great, really bright and clear, i got the 8000k iceburg blue. They're only 68.00 free shipping for the 9006, only use 35 watts and they're plug and play. They're made from a company called XENTEC. Recently one of the bulbs went out and they replaced my whole system for free, i just had to ship back my old system to them and i got the new one in just a few days. I can take pics of the lights if requested.

That's why I stay away from ebay because that situation happened to my cousin and brother 2 times so far; bulbs and especially the ballast malfunctions. I recommend mod express, I've had their bulbs and ballast almost a year no problem whatsoever might cost more than ebay but the quality will save you from headaches, shipping costs and constant waste of time.

dont put HID's in your stock halogen reflectors, PLEASE... you will blind everyone... if you want HID, go the proper way and retrofit HID projectors into your housing.

If you do not want to spend that kind of money, go with HIR bulbs. It is the closest in output you can get to HID's and they glare no more than OEM bulbs.

likely so...the stock housings arent as bad as the depo ones though. the lense on the stock ones divert alot of the light down but the depos which are clear are horrible.

How does it work out for the Maxima's and Infiniti's that have non-projector HID to not glare?
