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? |

No, they won't. You can't aim scattered light. With projectors you get a clean cutoff. No scattered light. With a HID kit in standard housings - even if you aim them low, you are still spreading light up into people's eyes. Pull up against a flat wall at night and snap some pictures of the light spread.
