Default HID for ep3?

I know, lighting section, But nobody on there has an ep3. Anyone have experience with any HID kits? What kits are best, and where is the best site to get them? What looks better on an ep color-wise? Im looking to do 6000k or 8000k or maybe higher?

Any experience with this site?

4300k is the best for Light output, I would never ever go any higher than 8000k. I have a 4300k kit, but I haven't had my car out on the road at night yet, but i can def. tell the difference in the light output in compared to my old 8000k kit.

With an HID kit it doesnt realy matter. I wouldnt recommend putting HID in the stock housing though.

Even if its a kit. It matters. Unless you have the lhd ctr hid projectors or a retrofit. I highly go against hids in a halogen based car.
