I haven't bought from Xenon depot, but I heard lots of good stuff about them from my friends who can speed more then $100 on hid kit. I think they are the best. However im loyal to DDMtuning.com (2nd best). I purchased 4 kits(35watts slim) from them for about 40 each. So far and all have been good and still working. They just opened another shop closer to where i live so warranty replacement shall be a breeze but doesn't look like ima have any problems.

Here's a link to a similar thread I started. These are bichoo's (hope he doesn't mind lol) pictures though cuz i haven't taken any pics of mine yet. he has the 5000k hid's and i think hid fogs also...you might want to message him for more info.

i went off of these pics and was pleased with the end result.

I heard that OEM HID headlight housings arent plug and play for non HID equipped lights, please correct me if I'm wrong because if so I'm hitting up sewell right now.

Where'd you hear that from? AFAIK, no one really knows at this point. It might not even be PnP for OEM HID cars, who knows. Just waiting to hear from Sewell I guess.

Right, do you know if the same is true for up to '09 headlights? I know the AFS functionality would be lost, but would the lights work at all?

Well thanks to everyones help I went with xenon depot (kbcarstuff) and i got the H11 6000k Volt Digital+ Xenon HID Conversion Kit. Hopefully this is a good set, its got a 2yr warranty so Im expecting them to last atleast 2 years.

I went for the 6000k because I wanted the bright white with a hint of blue.

Again, thanks for all your recommendations!
