Hella is a great brand. I think Hella makes 90% of all the manufactuer's HID kits. I know Hella makes the whole kit on the VW's. But i think they are pretty pricey

Thats very colorfull, yet not very bright at all.
It's going to be hard to see the road, especially in the rain.

Well the reason I am getting it because I am buying the kit used and its around 8000k, the guy is selling it to me for 140. I think thats a good deal. Will probaly change the bulbs later back to around 6000k

I didn't know that. I thought that the higher the temp, the more the light output was like actual sunlight, therefore the brighter. What give you the best light for function? The brightest, I guess.
