Best HID Kit?
So your looking for the best hid kit money can buy without hurting your pocket book too hard at the same time. If you ask alot of people they will tell you some of the top names in hid kits are HELIOS, Bellof, Prolumen, McCULLOCH, Philips, Hella, Osram, Matsushita, MTEC. While its hard to say that anyone of them is the best kit, them names come up alot when people are recommending brands. Just if your wondering i’m running a Hella/Philips setup with Generation-3 Ballast Pair with integrated ignitors and i’m very pleased with the outcome.
What should i check for before buying a HID Kit?
- Brand of ballasts and ignitors the kit comes with
- Warranty ( look for something with atleast a year and quick turnarounds for hid parts)
- Are you buying from a dealer thats going to stand by its product
- Do they answer you emails fast and prompt
- A shop that will install them and adjust and aim them right
- Beware that some cars use the same bulb for Day Time Running Light (DRL) and low beam, in cases like that you will have to either re-locate the DRL or turn HID on all the time
Also look for things like color temperature 6000K etc (make sure you view some pictures so you know what your getting into) blinding others will just keep you busy with paying off tickets. So try to go with a safe choice. It really comes down alot of the time to a no hassle no bullshit warranty. If you send in the bad hid kit part and they send you the good ones then everyone is happy. You can check ebay for some great deals on hid kits just make sure you check there feedback and didn’t give anyone warranty issues.

when are you guys going to update the prolumen page? I’d like to see some pictures of the kits installed and what sorta color the lights are. I was thinking of going with a 600K kit but not sure. Also where did you buy your prolumen hid kit?
