Default Where is a good place to purchase HID?

I need a set of 4100k or 4300k or 5000k color temperature..9006 bulb type

Your guidance will be greatly appreciated...

My budget is $300 bucks...I've tried searching on ebay and all they have is the 6000k and up...

Jason at discountcycle@ureach.com has awesome HID kits - Philips Ultinon in whatever K rating you need. I bought 6000K HID's for the 9006 housing and upgraded the fogs on my 99 GS4. The car looks even more amazing now (assuming you are into the double HID look)

Check out some pics of my car with the HID's in the fogs (bottom row pics)

Contact Jason at discountcycle@ureach.com - I bought my HID kit for the fogs on my GS from him. $420.00 shipped - 6000K Philips Ultinon for the 9006 housing. He has other kits as well, but IMO the 6000K kit offers the best of HID kits - color of light and visibility at night.

Hameed- I really appreciate the info on the 6000K's. Man, you must blind everyone with that headlight / fog combo. Very sweet.!!

Actually it's more of a cosmetic mod rather than functional mod - it looks very sweet indeed, but does not blind you when I am following you. That's simply because the fogs are aimed very close to the car and pointing on the ground (that's the standard setting).

Nope, not a group buy at all. Jason's prices are very good!

WOW. 420.00. That is way too low, he probably charged you that because that was the 2nd kit you bought from him. Many people were informed that no longer honors the group buy and charges 550.00 for the kit.

If you want cheap HID's for like $250 to $450 depending on which ones call 305-226-2326 ask for nick or ceaser. I donno how much it would be for shipping though.

Did you get your kit yet? How do you like it? I'm trying to decide between a 4500 or 6000 Catz kit?

U cant go wrong with the Philips 6K Kit, The 4500 will be a lil bit briter output with a whitish/blue look - the 6K will be purple/white
I also got my 6k kit from bryan, VERY VERY easy to install took about 20 Min to do

Id say deff go with 6K u cant go wrong with the look and color output

Excellent, I'll look forward to your pics, if you're able. Tell me again the cost you got? I understand the 6k's are about 20 percent less bright than the 4500's. But I suppose the 6000k's would still be bright enough. Honestly with the government cracking down, my only concern about the 6000k's is that the purple would be a cop's dream. But they look so great!
