Since you have a 4th gen.. None of them unless you get projectors.

HID kits will take away your ability to use your High Beams... thus Illegal.

Not to mention the headlight housing was not designed for HID's.

But if you're down w/ it, I agree w/ BAGS 6K is the MOST you should go w/. Most of the other are in the 4-5K range for brightness.

I've told my bank to forward $$$ to Big Sun in Taiwan and I'm hoping their hi/lo kit is good quality.

I think a good OEM 4300K kit or a McCollough or Philips kit whups butt

6000k is the max color temp i'd consider

check out www.intellexual.net for alot of info on HIDs!! a real eye opener!! theres so much more than just color temp to consider!

i didn't get the group deal price. he wouldn't refund me the difference. He sent the wrong bulb and it took forever to get it exchanged (He made me pay for shipping). When I got the correct bulbs, he didn't send me the correct diodes. He swore he sent them to me and after many correspondence, he reluctantly agreed to send another pair to me. @ that time, I gave up and said I wanted my $ back. That took another week to negotiate. I sent the kit back ("company policy") Then I waited 1.5months to get my refund. A huge hassle. If I didn't buy from him, I woulda had my hi/low HID kit by now for the same price. Argh

Re: Which HID Kit is the best

If you don't want cops bothering you, stay with 4300-4700k color temp lights. These are white. If you want to fatigue your eyes and blind other drivers get a 6500k-9000k color temp kit.

I am trying to tell the man Hanabis rule. Who loves that sweet purple color? Every rice man that I run into. Even supra owners dig them when they see them in person.

Make sure whatever kit you buy has a bulb which has a molded base. Almost all out there are glued. The 2 companies i know of that mold their bases are Catz and McCullogh. With Catz being the only one with a true high/low capability. McCullogh has one that flips open a shield, but Catz moves the actual bulb to be aligned w/ the high beam filament in a halogen H4 bulb

And just to clarify, Philips doesnt make a "kit". People bundle all kinds of junk with a Philips ballast and call it a "Philips Kit". Beware.
