www.retro-solutions.com

$167 shipped, and that included the bixenon kit.
I have had my 8000k HIDs for about 6 months now, and never had a problem with them. Very bright and great quality. You definitely get what you pay for as far as HIDs go, so don't go the 'ebay' route lol. I installed mine myself, and it was the easiest thing ever... It literally was 'plug and play' =)

Retro Solutions is a very reputable site to work with. I'll be purchasing my HIDs from that site. They're big in the sport compact community and get a lot of positive feedback. The founding guy is a prominent member on Club RSX, screen name RSX-CT. You can see a lot of reviews about their HIDs here:

RaiderH8r89, did you go with the 55w or 35w kit?

Perhaps you didn't see the whole thing... it's a bit difficult to get to the actual 'store' from the main front page... It has test results from stock, 35w, 55w, and other HID brands... Don't know what you saw, but the site is WAY more informative than most cutesy, decorated websites...
http://www.retrosolutionsllc.com/servlet/StoreFront

That is the actual store link... do some research on it and click on the different kits on the left hand side of the page.


Oh, a PM was sent to you TQS10 =)

myhids.com now has the bi-xenon for $130. Don't overpay.. but at the end, it's all up to you!

If you want light that will really light up your surroundings go for the 5000k color temp. It comes out platinum white with the slightest hint of yellow. Not that purple look everyone is going for but they but out the most visable light. The higher you go up on color temp the less actual visable light you get. Another good one is the 6000k. That will give you a little less light output but gives a nice pure white with a little purple. I did however notice a difference from going from 6000k to 5000k... Easier to drive at night with the 5000k's
