Default Best HID Kit

What is the best HID kit to buy for 2006 is350. I want color similar to the stock HID that come from Lexus. Can you please attach a link if you have a good website which you have used or know it good. Thanks

Stock HIDs are 4100-4300K, so you should look into a 5K HID kit. Depending on how much your looking to spend, you can buy Philips bulbs that are 4300K,

Ive had kits from a few different companies, but I would recommend going with Xenondepot. A lot of members here will also recommend them.

Send a PM to Xenondepot and steve will help you out

I have used DDM tuning hid kits in the past and never had any problems. One of my friends has had one installed for ~2years without any problems. The kits are usualy around $45 so even if it developes any problems you can buy another kit and its still cheaper than $100.

Right now it looks like ddmtuning has the "DDM HID Kit Slim Ballast (35W or 55W)" for $30 + shipping.

DDM tuning kits are hit or miss though. I didnt have any issue with them but I hear that they have 6K, 8K, and 10Ks all on the same shelf so theres a chance that your kit will not be the colored you ordered.

With my HID headlights and fogs, I've now dealt with XenonDepot, DDM Tuning and iJDMToy.. and can tell you from experience to go with XenonDepot.

While their products may be a little more than others, the quality and more importantly their guarantee and service are worth it.. and especially when dealing with something that can burn out and fail like HID lights.

Use the coupon code for XD and just about the best set of HID fog kits you can get is $114 shipped which really isn't bad. You get what you pay for!

DDM Tuning HID bulbs are absolute JUNK and not worth the box they're sent in. Trust me. Anyone that says that they're so great has never had a truly good set to compare them to.

I've always heard good things about the DDM kits and Xenondepot. I personally have used RetroSolutions (http://www.retro-solutions.com/) and they were great to work with (customer service, lots of documentation, etc.).
