Default Recommended HID'S for headlights and fogs

Wanted to get some pointers about what HID kit is out there on the market that you would recommend for me to install. Thanks in advance!

The 3 I have read the most about are Bilinvic Retrofits http://www.bilinvic-retrofits.com/ Raptor Retrofit http://www.raptorretrofit.com/ and Project Retrofits http://www.projectoretrofits.com/. I got my HID's from Raptor Retrofit, took about 4 weeks, completely satisfied with the quality and customer service.

As far as fogs, Bilinvic & Project Retrofit offer fogs but they're pricey. I tried Putco LED's for my fogs but I'm going to be removing them because although they look great color wise, the output is scattered and causes too much glare for oncoming drivers. I'll just put my old halogens back in until I can afford to do it right.

Cool thanks for the info, did you have any issues after instal? I have heard that there has been feed back or static in the radio due to the HID Ballast, is this true?

No, I haven't had any issue thus far, other than the post I started about the AutoLamps possibly causing one of the lights not to come on during start up.
