Default HID Lights?

What is the difference between a kit from Proxenon and these HID lights? Other than price

Default Those aren't true Xenon lights

Those are just bulbs with a blue coating to mimick the color of HIDS but trust me they don't even put out half the amount of lumens a true hid system does. The best way to tell if they are true hid lights is to look for ballasts that come with the kit. www.xenondepot.com has the best H11kit because they use only phillips components. Their customer service is awesome. Trust me you cant get true Hid kits under 400 bucks and if you are they are used or not phillips made. Proxenon uses asian components from taiwan which are not always proven and the bulbs usually burn out within a year whereas phillips bulbs will last the life of your car. Don't skimp on components you will end up paying double in the end.

Im going to do a full instructional install with pics with the xenondepot.com 6000k kit soon.
