HID Upgrades

Can anyone recommend a reasonable but not expensive HID upgrade. My headlights are dim and dimmer at the moment and quite embarrasing on dark country roads

This kit - yes its from china but easy to install, works perfectly and color is excellent - white with a just touch of blue - I really cant say nothing bad but recommend it (atleast in my case)

Angel eyes I buyed on german ebay as my car is LHD - blac ones from this seller

Only modification I had to do was to make small hole on cover cap of main beam bulb (back side of lights and you can take off cap - 5 mins of work) for cabel that go tru and HID cabel comes with rubber seal so in the end everything looks factory made...

Also I would recommed 4.3k or 6k colour as 8k and above are too much blue - violet... 6k is best in my opinion like a cold white (not just because I have it :D )
