Most will agree that Morinoto is the way to go. Some will argue that DDM Tuning and comes with lifetime warranty. I used them before and they are OK. Decided to go DiamondVision 5000k 55W and very very happy. No need to drill or worry about errors and ballast not igniting. Just an opinion.

if you want to go for quality, be sure to do a proper projector retrofit. Light output will be much improved and more precise

I have to agree. And even so, there has been a couple of post this past week regarding Morinoto ballast not igniting. Read, research and ask questions.
