1. 4300k

and

2. XenonDepot.com
(gallery also has a few RSX for you to view)

I've owned 4 XenonDepot.com kits in numerous cars... ( currently running it with retrofitted headlights )

NEVER any problems

Just a quick note on the "K"

Higher k kits = brighter to the eyes, bluer(is that a word?) & less usable light on the road
Lower K kits = less bright to the eyes, whiter, & more usable light on the road

Most "ricers" buy 8k and up kits for that MAD TYGHT PURPLISH L00K Son!

here are some useful links

http://xenondepot.com/htec.php

check in the vendors section, tons of for Steve @ XD

good information above... I persoannly went for the mcculloch 6000K kit... I do like it better than halogen, but the glare and shiity light pattern does get quite annoying... esp when ur turning in a dark road, u can see the glare even more... and considering the glare from a far distance makes ur car appear with the brighter lights than people around you

by the way, go for 4300 - 6000k... 6000 being slight purple with a lil white.... 5000 being slight blue with white... and 4300 being more towards the white side

Are you looking for a factory HID look??? If so ... go with 4300K ... that is the factory temp rating for BMW and MB.

Anything above 6000K is worthless ... esp in the rain!
