Default 5000k HID kit??

Been a while since I've posted on here, but I'll make it short. Anyone know a good brand for a 5000k HID kit that isnt too expensive, let's say, under $200? I looked VVME, but dispite some decent reviews, I have seen some pretty bad ones as well. Anyone have any input?

I keep checking back at his site and seems to always be out of the 9007 kits. Anyone else know of any sites that provide good HID conversion kits? I've come a cross some, but the info they give on their kits seems sketchy and vague at best, which makes me not want to buy from them. And BTW, I'm the same guy who posted the original question, just accidentally logged into my old account when I posted that.

Are the 5000K or the 6000K lights as bright as the Slyvania Silverstar Ultra's?

They make the ultras look like complete ****, and use less energy.

I've got 6k hid's in my v6... the dark smoked headlights I have dim them down a bit. They look super bright from the outside of the car, but when I'm driving at night, especially in the rain, it's still hard to see. And I'm pretty sure they're aimed correctly.

I'm with ya there too, same setup.

I almost wish I went with 5k series instead sometimes

I have silverstar Ultra's in my car right now. There is a nice difference in brightness at night, as for the color of it though, you only really notice a difference in whiteness in extreme dark or with the high beams on. I recently bought my brother a set of the newer Silverstar ZXE's for his Fusion, and I must say they are pretty cool. In my opinion they look fairly HID like, which is what they are advertised as. And for $60 a pop they should be! haha. I'm almost thinking of getting those instead of HIDs since I'm having trouble finding a good kit.
