I was looking at ddmhid and i see on the site they have like 5 different kits. I was thinking about the bixenon kit. Is this the right kit or does it matter? Which number for color is the brightest or does it not matter? Should i upgrade to 55w? What about the relay harness/LBF modules? Also can i use the same balasts for high beams too? Sorry i am new to HID's and anything you can tell me will help me lots.

Ditto on the HIR bulbs. They're considerably brighter than standard halogen, all you have to do to make them work with our housing is cut off a tab on the bulb's base.
Here's some specs for those interested. QUOTE 9006 - 55 watts - 1000 lumens 9005 - 65 watts - 1700 lumens 9012 - 55 watts - 1870 lumens 9011 - 65 watts - 2350 lumens D2R HID capsule - 35 watts - 2800 lumens Definitely what I'll be switching to once my SilverStar bulbs burn out. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
