Default Anyone have good luck with a HID kit???

I have a 98 hatch and was looking at some of the rebased h4 hid kits made by mccullough and a few other companies. I was wondering if anyone has any feedback on any of the ready made kits out there. I read through about 3pages of stuff here and didn't really see anything with the rebased bulbs in the stock headlight housings. If anyone has any pics that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

i got a Xenondepot 4100K kit in my 97 hatch and its alright, nothin great. Produces an extreme amount of glare, and the beam pattern is all over the place. Retrofitting a projector would be much better IMO

I had Xenondepot Philips5000K kit and had no problem with it. Then I sold it and got 4,100K bulb and HID projectors. Whoa, what a difference! It makes the 5,000K HID bulb in a stock housing look like halogen.
