Projector HID conversion help

I just had one of my H7 headlights go out and before I go and buy another set I wanted to buy an HID conversion kit.

What is a good brand that also had a low price? Should I get the 4100 or 6000 for use in the projectors? I am looking for the best light output with the whitest light.

I would also like to upgrade the city lights from the yellowish ugly look to something as close to HID as possible.

looking to buy RIGHT now or in the morning so please help if you know of something! THANKS!!

CLK320 / E500
I went with a 6000k kit and I have the slight purple hue around the edge. These are crazy bright, I've been flashed a couple of times, that is until I flash them back That being said, you might want to look into the stock 4300k HID bulbs.

Look up this part number with your dealer: N 000000 002825 these are the new bulbs that come with the E63 which are supposed to be a lot better than the stock bulbs. I have a pair but have not installed them yet.

4300k is supposed to be the best for light output and is that very bright white OEM HID color...most aftermarket ppl go with 6000k ...white with a slight hint of blueish/purplish ...i have 6000k in fogs and projectors...

the carlsson bumper is gunna be even lower...instead of ur AMG bumper getting clipped, ur just gunna end up hittin those parking blocks while pullin in then...

just keep ur space from the blocks...if ur worried a lot bout the height...id suggest to stay away from the carlsson

i just put in a 6000k HID kit in my projectors and it looks pretty sick. I need some blue LED city lights pretty badly though. I bought KWD with a warranty for about $130. PM or email me if u want the link

Just as Deyainrds stated ...the Carlsson is WAY lower than the AMG one...I love the look of the bumper but now I am scraping on all sorts of stuff including my new Home Driveway!! I have to take all steep driveways at an angle so that I dont scrape. Stick with the AMG if you are already having problems scraping as it is.
