Not many people have HID kits on here because of the cost. But the people that do have them all have different kits, there are tons of them out there. Alot of people said that it doesnt really work using HID kits with the TYC projectors because they arent meant to be used with HID's. They retrofit Audi projectors or another cars projectors in there and then get HID's. The colors vary depending on the kelvin tempature you get. The lower the kelvin temp, the more white the color and the higher the kelvin temp, the more color, usually blue or purple. The cost can vary between $200 and over $1000. I have heard that the best kits are made by phillips.

aftermarket kits are shitty, and when the bulbs break u will not be able to get new bulbs due to them being illegal... (or u can just keep wasting your $ on cheap bulbs...)

PM Me if u are interested in OEM HIDs

That is not always true, when I had my kit and the bulbs blew out, I got new ones free of charge. then when the other one blew out, I got a brand new kit. Now someone in the philippines has it and I have no money, that *****.

Impulse: it's just a low-beam kit...and when i plugged it all in..blah blah blah, it still doesn't work...but the high-beam indicator is on..(the blue light in the dash) then my friends told me to pull the DRL fuses, which i did...and replace the L head light and the R headlight fuse (15a) with a 20a fuse....did that...all wires plugged in correctly...still doesn't work...

Well I had to bitch at them after they sent my whole kit to the factory and it took over 2 months to get back. The first time it took a week to get the new bulb.
