loroko: How old were your Nokya bulbs? Nokya bulbs are the same wattage as OEM - at least they have been since we started carrying them.

I went with 3k yellow bulbs and the yellow film. Not much difference I noticed with the 3k bulbs or stock bulbs with the film.

Which kit did you go with Fresh?

Does anything else need to be replaced when buying the HID kits to prevent any issues in the future like melting wires, or does what you get in the kits for HIDs work fine?

No - depending on what HID kit you go with. XenonDepot HID kits use low draw ballasts, come with proper mating connectors, and bulbs that use required uv-quartz glass.
