Default Which HID Kits is best...

I was looking to upgrade my lights to HID. Now the question is, which kit to get? I check threw this forum and some said go OEM and get the Denso kit. But I've seen my buddies Philips Ultinon Slim HID Kit and it looks great. Personally I want my car to beam like the Mercedes or s2000. Any advice on what to get? Thanks in advance.

S2000 and mercedes have projectors and motion sensor to auto level the beam when going up hill or something, so it shoots way better than our car without projector.

My friend got some Xetronic Digitals on his truck. It looks very nice. I might go ahead and order some with him. Lucky he gets it at wholesale price.

honestly- i'd recommend a retrofit. there are some members who do them on here with write ups and everything.

yup... a warranty is only as reliable as the person you are purchasing it from.

huerdo623-

sorry bro, I don't have a clue what it would take to retrofit aftermarket projectors into an es300. our resident expert on CL would have to be a Jeff Tsai and his username is "jefftsai".

Good luck man!
