Phillips doesn't sell HID kits.

I got news for you, "therainycityEK," There's no such thing as an HID kit without a relay and wiring harness. Where are you going to get the extra voltage to fire the xenon arc and convert your DC electrical system to AC?

And 5000k is the most colorful temperature I'd ever recommend. 4300k is more light, but 5000k offers better contrast being a pure white. Anything higher is dumb.

If you just want brighter you could simply install HIR halogen lamps. Closest thing to plug and play. Tabs just needs to be trimmed to fit 9005/9006.

Do Google HIR1 and HIR2 for more info. There is also some post here. PIP suck, less light where you need it, real bad glare to opposing traffic. should only be used wit projector lenses designed for HID. If you want to get busted use PIP.

The title of this thread is a contradiction! Best and plug and play HID doesn't work together. Plug and play HID's are junk regardless of how much you pay!!!

My friend had some HID's off of this website http://www.vvme.com/. It's still holding up since 2009. I've seen some other honda forums saying that this was good, but Plug and Play HID's are a bit of a gamble. Some are good build quality, some are just plastic from china. Make sure they have very good customer support before you buy .
