Default Which HID's to get?

I've seen several Integras with HID's but haven't had the chance to chat with any of the folks who own them. Is there a certain kind or name brand that is better or is it a personal preference on what frequency of light & colour you prefer? I've seen them from a kinda pinkish look to blue-silver & even a blue-ish purple. I'm in the market for a set & just trying to get some input. Thanks.

I have "HID Plus" by Hella's, I love em' but I have an EK. My buddy has HID's from Hella and they looks hot on his Integra. No problems with any of our kits.

If your talking about a Type R, or integra, then yes they do have high beams.

I bought a car with a set of HID's that were bought off Ebay for 350$.

BOTH bulbs are now blown and the kit isn't even a year old.

OEM and retro-fit the bulbs yourself. Or if you feel like being a DIYer then retro-fit the entire projector .

I am working on the bulb retro-fit but I am waiting for another D2S bulb because I broke one

BTW my kit is off an Audi A6

I decided on the 4300K kit since all I cared about is actual light output and didn't care about "snazzy" color effects. It's a second hand (bought used) Visual Dynamics retrofit kit. Almost 2 years on it and no problems.

ITR does not come with HID! Well JDM ones with HID do

Two kinds of retro-fits can be done:
Bulb retro-fit
Projector retro-fit

Bulb retro-fit involves taking the ring from a 9006 bulb and attaching it to the D2S HID bulb

Projector retro-fit involves taking out stock projectors and replacing them with the HID projectors from another car.

http://www.skafia.com gives a great writeup on the projector retro-fit

I remember an integra I saw on the road with a HID kit, the car color was super sonic blue and the HID lights were very similar in color. Almost as if they were also super sonic blue ( dark blue). I was wondering if anyone knew what kind or how many k's this kit would be.

Rockin' the Catz 4500K kit. Love it and would recommend it...problems is they are not so easy to comeby nowadays since they have been pulled from US distributors due to the fact that the NHTSA has made it illegal to market retrofit kits.
