Anyone know a good HID headlight kit for my 2005 C55

Im interested in converting my headlights to HID. Anyone know a good company/website? My car is a 2005 C55 and I want to find the best quality ones available. On my last car, which was a 530i Bmw, I went through two HID kits, which turned out to be low quality.

Check out DDMtuning.com , they're located in San Diego. They come with lifetime warranties and I've never had a set go out on me. They come in regular or slim ballast, 35w or 55w. Also very well priced.

@Mshields -- I'm in the same market as you. If you do end up buying one let me know how it goes and who ends up doing the install.

Just an FYI, for kicks, I got a quote from the dealer: $2500 for parts + labor.

Try TSPY.COM, I just got 10,000k & I love them. It only took a 1/2 hour for install start to finish. They haven't thrown any errors & were short money.

Really all you have to do is change the bulb to whatever you want.
