Go PIAA and nothing else (my opinion) :).
The "XTREME WHITE" PIAA's look nice - blue tint, white light.

Those are just bulbs, they are not a real HID kit. If you want the real thing I belive Hella and Phillips make the best ones. But I hear the Phillips a little yellowish look to them. I plan on getting the Hella 7000k HID kit someday... Cost is from $500-600 bucks.

Ok so now I see their is a difference between just getting xeon bulbs and not anentire set, well kinda see it. What is the difference and what benefit do you have with getting an entire set? do you get the same good performance from just getting bulbs? is there a drwaback to just getting bulbs? Do people ever have dmaage from overheating, I briefly read about that. Tons of questions I know, but any advice is appreciated.

Sunroof wasn't tinted out. The bulbs in my pictures are not the bulbs I have now. I use to have Xenon Plazma bulbs in all my lights, but now I run PIAA's all around.
An HID kit will provide you with much more light then bulbs would, that's the main difference. They'll give you that BMW/Mercedes headlight look.

I thought PIAA's didnt have xneon? I thought they only made halogen? Am I wrong? Whats the difference between halogen and xneon?
