Go to LSKoncepts.com and look at their lighting. I bought the 6k Digital kit back in like March or so and I have had 0 complaints about the kit. They ignite and get to their color very fast. I would not buy one of those $125 kits as a primary lighting source. From what Ive read they somtimes have to be switched on and off a couple of times to get them both to come on. Plus LSK Is a vendor on this site and I would support somone who is a fellow enthusiast. just my .02

I have 2 of the $125 kits from umnitza. The only issue i've had is color (I think the light is whiter than 6000K). Other than that, they seem to work fine for me. Here's a bad pic i took the other day:

I'm getting mine painted along with my mclaren grille and hood next monday. I highly suggest painting them, since they seem to apply really wavy, and you can use spot putty and sanding to get them flat. If you don't mind using something thinner, buy the eyebrows, then bring them to a vinyl decal shop, and use the eyebrows as a template. I tried that, but i didn't like the "sticker" look.

Some of the great brands of HIDs are: Catz,Phillips,Mcculloch but they go for $450 or more...

But a good HID Kit for your buck is the Xetronic from LSKONCEPTS or go to xenondepot.com they have a cheap kit which is pretty good.

I personally dont recomend the $125 kit,check out the thread and look at some of the problems that the people have been having with the kit

I, for one, am a satisfied Umnitza customer. Their kits gave me zero problems. Yes, I had the flicker issue, but only for a few days. Drive with them on all day for a few days, and they break in fine. The only real complaint i had was that the analog ballast (on one set) didn't have any brackets for mounting.

Just my 2 cents.

Hey Pektel, nice car where in Minnesota are you? I am on Grand Ave. in St. Paul.

Thanks! I'm way up north in Grand Rapids (hence the BFE location). Got pics of your LS?
