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.

Are you looking for color, output, or quality? Different car makes produce different colors depending on their projectors (someone chime in if I'm mistaken) so if you want a specific look of a make or model, then I'd say pick up their projectors and bulbs and retrofit it in. You might want to check out Never Burn Out, they have kits that come with a lifetime warranty, exponentially greater then any other company out there.

Nice deal, whatever works for you, just make sure you do your research, you don't want to get stuck with a disfunctional kit 1.5 years down the road.

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