I don't know about that brand, but I love my Hella ones.

Bullshit, all of the 6000k setups i have seen are much brighter then ANY halogen setup ive seen. I have had all kinds of halogen bulbs too. PIAA superwhite, PIAA Plasma Blue, etc, etc..

The Phillips Ultinon kit is MUCH brighter then the halogens, so stop spreading horseshit.

I have heard of the Vision kit. It's a little cheaper then the Phillips/Hella kits, yes, but I would get the Phillips/Hella if you could spend the extra cash, I was told by a friend who saw the kit, that the quality did not seem as high. But thats just hear/say like most of the **** on forums. Hella/Phillips is a more well known brand and many cars use their kits from the factory.

4300K is the way to go. Trevor at visual dynamics is the man to talk to. His kits are awesome. Just installed mine last night.

just can't compare regular bulb to HID, no matter how sh*t the HID system is, is still brighter than regular bulbs
