Default HID conversion

Hi,

I recently just purchased a 2000 GS300, however it did not come with HID. Which HID conversion would be best for my vehicle?

Thanks
Brian

going for oem would mean changing the whole housing as well. that's more expensive but i think that's the best as well

for hid kits, personally i always prefer philips quality stuff

@rominl not quite, i got mine done without changing anything, i had the denso ballast and and the 5000k phillip bulbs (that were rebased) and i had no problems. you can get them rebased with oem from this guy on ebay, he lives near me and i got it from him.

ebay name: integra9006hid
or his site www.hidexpert.com

deception - so basically that's the same as getting an hid kit. rebased bulbs... ballasts that aren't factory... using non-HID reflectors...

just go with a xenondepot.com kit. they sell the philips stuff all day long.
