I'd recommend you go out and buy a car that actually comes with them so you don't look like some low life, cheapskate ricer.

Kits are bad news. Retrofit or fail.

Go buy yourself some TYC headlights:

Then retrofit a proper HID projector into it. I think that Audi A6 projectors are plug and play... but I could be wrong (it might be S2K).

Anything else is super ricey.

The other option is to get some EDM headlights from Germany as they have a proper cut off. You can then use a ricey hid kit without blinding on coming drivers. Your beam pattern will be shitty like the USDM headlights, but at least you won't be blinding the shit out of people driving the other way.

I've got Helio's in my car and have had two different sets. No issues with them.

doesn't really matter what you get, but PLEASE put them in a set of projectors, or save yourself the hassle and buy some PIAA bulbs and put them in your high beam and run highbeams everywhere you go.

^^^^^^^^^^Yes, it doesn't matter what you put them in reflectors/projector housings ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you want to do a half ass ok job, buy projectors that are designed for HIDs.
Projectors meant for halogen bulbs aren't good enough, their cutoff is too high.
HID kits seem to be all the same just depends on how much after sale support you need, pay lots if you're incompetant.

use locals if you need support
