There are three basic typs of HID you have the blinding good for nothing HID in h4 Chinese housing. They don't direct light in any specific pattern other than bleeeeehhgh forward- not very efficient basicly

Then there is hella e code with an hid inside instead of h4 bulbs. These direct light much better with a distinguishable cutoff. This prevents blinding oncoming traffic and with the light now being directed forward and more efficiently which means the light goes farther and sight is improved although it still yields some glare

Then there is projectors they litteraly project ligh forward with little waste. A good projector will go a good two football fields before losing usable light. But usually low beams are pointed down. Most all mid and higher end cars have these now. A good cutoff so not to blind anyone and very little glare

If you have anymore questions let us know.

This is a different forum http://clubroadster.net/vb_forum/20-...out-there.html but it will explain everything you want to know about real hids vs the cheap ebay kits.

As far as a kit goes you pretty much have to piece them together

Ddm tuning has good hid kits that I've used many times and always liked. ESP the pricing

You will have to build the projectors if you want them. There's several threads on the inter webs for this. If you have money you can't go wrong with theretrofitsource.com they have really nice quality projectors that will put mine to shame.

You can do hella e codes and I wouldn't suggest brighter than the 35w box and about 6000k temp lights as far as hids go. My friend has some in his square with sylvania h4 bulbs and relays and they do a very good job, by today's standards they do really good

You can do hi/low if you have quad lights or regular h4 silva inks for brights. Benefit of regular halogen bulbs is you don't have to wait for full light. Hids take about 10-15 seconds before they are at Max output.

You know how the kelvin ratings for HIDs go?
