As the title state I'm looking at getting HID's and as i know that there is a few people on here that have got them i was wondering where you got them and what price you paid.
Also how happy have you been with the kits and aftersales service.
All comments welcome good or bad.

I've got an MTEC HID kit fitted to mine. I'm happy with it :-) They're rated at 6000K and go well with my white LED parking lights. These will be going into the foglights when I do my headlight mod though (whenever I get the chance to, anyway).

There are plenty of cheap ones on Ebay. I just bought a set for 200 cherry pops. When they arrive I'll let you know how they go.

Jose, Tom what would you recommend for the brightness for the globes?
95% of my driving is done in the country and due to the cost of the globes I don't want to get the ones that don't suit the driving that I do.

Sam, it's not so much the brightness as the colour. For relaxed and best visibility, get 4300k, the higher colour temperatures have more glare.

It is not only the glare. The 4300K have greater penetration.
