I've looked around for HID kits and the brands range between cheap xentec to philips kits.
The prices of these kits range from $35 to $300. Why is there a huge price difference. There is the obvious quality of parts and different technology. But the real question is: Do the higher end kits give you more light for the same wattage? Has anyone burnt out a ballast? To those of you who have aftermarket HID kits installed; what kit did you get and how good has it been so far? |

QUOTE (96stgreendemon @ Dec 21, 2010 - 2:20 PM)  55 watt will be brighter aren't 35w crazy bright already? i read somewhere that a brighter headlight is not always the best choice because it lowers your eyes ability to adjusted to the darkness. For instance: your eyes would adjust to th bright head lights up front but when it comes time to look somewhere where your headlight doesn't shine your eyes would take longer to adjust from the darkness. |
