HID headlights kits, whats the difference Options

[Hanyo]

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?

I have the 6K 55W DDM Tuning kit in my MR2, in conjunction with a set of Pegasus projectors. I REALLY hate the people tossing HID kits into their frosted halogen lights, because you just scatter the light and blind everyone. Hold off on a HID kit until you get some JDM projectors and have done the LHD cutoff mod. Otherwise you're just that dumb ricer kid who doesn't know what he's doing.


I think the error code cables and things like that are more for new cars. Not ours.
