there's a lot of brands out there but it all depends on your budget. piaas are expensive and some have complained about them. eurolites and nokyas, etc are cheaper and look ok to me. hope this helps

Closest I found to true HID before I got my HID's were CATZ Galaxy White H4's. Run about $60 a pair.

So far I have gone through 4 types. APC, Matrix, PIAA Xtreme White, and Catz Galaxy. I got to say, the Catz are the best looking imitation HIDs out there.

I know someone with the Catz galaxy whites on his civic and they really do look like real HID's when your looking at it from the outside, but when he drove over my REAL HID beam pattern all my light ate his light. If i didn't already have my HID's i'd probably get the galaxy's.

You can buy CATZ, PIAA's, and others at AutoBulbDepot. I would recommend the CATZ over the others also because they run at the stock 55/60W ratings, and not at 80/100, or 90/100, or whatever the other bulbs come in. You don't want to burn your headlight housings, or fry any of your headlight wires.
