I Search, And I Realize There's A Vendor That Sell Them, But My Main Question Is: What Is The Most Recommended Brand To Buy? Or It Doesn,t Really Matter What I Go With Cause They All Work Great.

most recommended brand is none. they don't all work great. that's the problem. the only kits that truly work at OEM standards is nothing. it's either OEM or bust.

gearbox will probably recommend Catz HID kits and our vendor will recommend their own HID kit. if you really want to spend your money on a kit, then go with the vendor recommended kit. just be warned that you will get pulled over eventually, especially in socal.

retrofit or nothing. Just like buying those cheap ebay intakes. Then you realize there crap and you spend more by buying a brand name instead of just buying the brand name in the first place.

The hid kits you'll think it coo because there brighter then you notice you dont get that BMW flicker or the changing colors and you'll want to do a retrofit.

If you don't get the projectors too, they'll just look like brighter headlights.

thanks for the feedback, and thanks for recommending the retrofit projector set-up, but I don't what to head towards that route. I know with having projector you get better results, and a clearer light pattern.

retrofit or nothing. you can get catz and it will be *decent* compared to the other ricers out there with blinding lights, but it will still be hid slapped in halogens. i would say as far as visible light on the ground, the stock halogen im using now is comparable in brightness and actually better in bad weather. thats why i sold my kit. and hid bulbs are expensive to replace
