I have the lightning ones and really like them. I also have 35w 10,000k hids now, but by Friday my new 55w 6000k should be in.

Thats what I personally like

Never thought of that, trying to get away from the stock look. I really like the look of the lightning ones, I think I will go with those instead. As for a brightness what should I go with, and who makes the best kit?

Don't mean to hijack but I've been considering HID. I llive in rural Ontario and have hit 3 deer already-all in the dark. I'm just wondering if the difference in visibility with HID is significant.

Looks intense! Are those the factory headlights in there?

EDIT: headlights as in the housing the bulb sits in for clarification.
