I've been doing a lot of research into HID... and I was interested in gettin the K2 6000K kit but... now i'm probably not gonna buy anything except for the Phillips Ultinon Kit...

I wouldn't buy those but thats my opinion

Well there was this group buy on for the HELLA/PHILLIPS 8000k kit...for like $550 for DUAL BEAM H4 Kit...hahaha...crazy....but well...it was either that...or a body kit...and I am going with the kit....... And the 8000k is the the closest the color of the sun....and it is soo white that our eyes can not see all the white...so what we do see is the blue that is givin off....I think the new 3.2TL Type-S has that kit...cuz they are crazy blue now....

Don't go cheap on HID.

EBay Auction for H4 dual beam

If you're going HID, do either of the following: projector headlights + HID, or dualbeam HID (aka bi-xenon).

If you're looking for HID, I highly highly recommend the above kit. It's the same kit that's at the groupbuycenter selling for $525USD (the dual beam H4 kit). I've asked the guy on GBC. You should also check out the Phillips forums, you learn alot about HID there.

The kit above is basically THE best kit out there if you're going for dual beam HID. I've got comments from someone who's put it into a 2001 Civic housing, and it looks alright. (beam pattern-wise) Some report that the moving shield gets stuck in high beam sometimes, but otherwise it's ok. Once I get some money, that's going into my car The ballasts are not Phillips, but Hella.

For ballasts, either Philips or Hella are the bomb, and for bulbs, never ever get any of those K2 crappy ones. Those are tinted to give the colour hues they so describe.
