Question 96 S420 Xenon HID - Should I?

Xenon HID from what I have seen really set a car apart. However not knowing much about them are they a good idea? They are not cheap and there are so many to choose from. 3 colors white, blue and purple and 6000, 8000 etc. Is brand important? Are they worth the money? What color is the best? 6000 vs 8000? Where to buy? What do you think?

Get 6000k, Brand isnt really important as long as you go with a trusted company...I want to get OEM xenons but they are $$, Im thinking about getting Philips 6000k HID kit ($600), I have it on my Jetta and they look great...

They were on sale for $500 including free installation

No pictures available. I have had them almost a week now and I really like them. The range of light seem wider but not as long. The beam seems to be about the same as a regular headlight. My friend has a BMW and he gets a further range out of his HID but his were not after market. Still for $500 it is totally worth it.
