How good are the custom enterprise HID kits?

since the halo wanabe angel eyes seem suck (according to most members here)

I'm probably going to keep the stock oem projecter headlights on my 2k1, and just change the lighting

now should i go with this HID kit or just add a set of PIAA white bulbs?

if HID, which kit (5000k, 6000k...) will look best on a sterling gray max?

and how easy are they to install?

Well I have stock HID's in my car, but I suggest that you do research on retrofitting hid's into your headlight housing. Irish posted a very informative site about this very subject a few months ago. If you really want HID's I would suggest saving a little longer and getting the stockers from a 2k2-3, that way you will have a more accurate beam pattern adn you won't blind oncoming traffic.

But again do some research on hid's and temperature ratings, I think you will be surprised at your results.

I wouldn't worry about bliding people. Our reflectors emit a pretty damn solid cut off line for a housing that's not equipped with HIDs. Just aim the headlights down a bit when you get HIDs installed and you'll be fine.

i have 10000k HID's installed in OEM 2k-2k1 housing, i did not lose my beam pattern, and i do not blind people, the only thing i sacrificed was my high beams, but i may get bi-xenon soon.
