HID's questions

My next mod might just be HID's but I need help. Which one should I get? How much should I pay for these? 4200k or 6000k? Anybody know where I can buy them? Thanks for any advice...

Contact member 97GLES for all your HID needs. He sells it for around $450-$500 I believe.

Yeah I did already. I think it's $420 shipped which is pretty good already. I just want more opinions from you guys.

I have the OSRAMs and I love them. I don't know what I did with my weak headlights before. Definitely recommend them. Easiest mod I've done to my car, it's all plug and play.

well, i think the 6000k kit isn't supposed to be any brighter than those 4300k hid kits. All the 6000k kit is that its more purple in color. I would think that the 4300k hid kit gives off more lumens (light) than the 6000k kit. The higher the color temperature doesn't necessarily mean its brighter. Its just a change in color. I think it just depends whether u want the purple look or the bright white look.

i sell the osram kit for $425 with shipping and insurance. for those that can pick them up at the store they will cost you $409.

the store is AUDIO LINKS 201-420-6792 ( from 11am-6pm) in jersey city new jersey ( about 10 bocks away from the holland tunnel). if you call just ask for Freddie and tell him your from the maxima.org i only sell this kit here and my small store.

the osram kit is plug & play. it should take you about 20mins to do both sides .

I have a 95 Max and thinking about HID.
Should I get a 97 headlights or can I just use my 95 Headlight?

The 97 use reflective and my 95 use glass.

Which one is better??

Mercedes Benz use glass for thier HID in their SLK, and I think it's good.
Acura use Reflective system on their TLs' HID, but its not as good as Audi or BMW.

thanks
