Dammit. McKs are the only ones who make affordable bi-xenon HIDs.

Bohmen, phillips are good brands. Piaa is now making D2R's even. Not sure of their quality.

www.proxenon.com thats where I got my HID fogs. Good quality kit. I've had it a little over a year now with no problems. For a retro kit it even has a good beam pattern with no glare. The fogs are a little purple compared to the stock HIDS. I have some 5000K's to install that will match perfect. You can see about the beam pattern I'm talking about in the pick

It don't see the Bohmen's being bi-xenon. Maybe I'm missing it.

Edit: Nm. Firefox didn't display scroll bar...didn't know there were more.

Philips Based Xenon HID Conversion Kit by Polarion Lighting is the true "plug-and-play" kit and features genuine Philips bulbs and ballasts.

The life expectancy of these Philips bulbs is between 2,500 to 3,000 hours which is equal to 5 plus years of actual driving time. Our kits also come with 3-year warranty on ALL components.* This is what I found at "xenonfactory.com".

Phillips doesnt make halogen based HID lamps, they only make D2S, D2R, unless u fine a rebased phillips bulb. I have McCullochs they are 10000K and they work fine.

Hella are the best
