HID opinions

ok so i am purchasing a HID and want to know the opinions of all forum members. I am trying to decide between the following can you guys weigh in and tell me which you think is the best for the price.

1) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RL%3AUS%3A1123

2) http://www.brightheadlights-hid.com/...kits-xenon.htm

3) http://www.xenithxenons.com/product_p/hid-3gkit.htm

4) http://www.omnixautosports.com/h7-hi...h7-hid-kit.htm

Please let me know which you think is the best? I am leaning towards the 1st but i really like the Phillips but the price is terrible anyway i look forward to your opinions

Thanks

I am VERY skeptical of after market HID.

If I ever do it to my SLK, it will be the MTEC kit, so #1!

I saw a guy who put the MTEC kit with the 4500 HID on a slk. It looked very very close, to another slk side by side with factory HID. Only the beam pattern was slightly different.

Post some pictures and whatnot if you do attempt the install and let us know any challenges along the way.

Good luck.

One person on this forum used phillips and was happy with them. Search for some discussions on HID's.

IMO there is no reason to overpay for HID kits, some people just feel the should I guess. I paid $60.00 for my kit from this place:http://www.buyhidkits.com/ and I am very happy with them. I have had zero problems and if a bulb ever goes I can easily replace it. I had them installed by a custom shop and that cost me $150.00 more but I did not want to mess with getting to the bulbs, very tight fit. My wife has an Acura with factory HIDs and the light color/intensity are the same. I'm very glad I did the switch. My profile has a picture album if you want to take a look.
