Exclamation HIDs

iight guys so here it is.I've made my decision. Starting with the obvious: i AM getting HID's despite some of my boys tellin me to settle for the Sylvania Silverstars (not rankin on anyone). This is the deal, I'd like to know a few good brands and websites where ya'll have PERSONALLY gotten your kits from. Also, i ain't gonna do retrofit so no suggestions on that please. I'm going to install the kit on my OEM headlights until i get black housed ones. I am still debating on whether to get 6000k or 8000k. I will have questions and i kno that my brothers and sisters on this board will hook it up like always. Thank you.

Actually I guess its only a $5 difference. I would be curious to see how small they are. Here are the apexcone ones:

That's definitely small as well. I just need to be convinced and get them. How's installation. I'm not good at DIY for lights. Any thought?

The only real difficulty is that(on the 5g at least maybe finch can tell you about the 6g) is that the positive and negative are reverse on the car than they are on the kit. So just cut the connector off your car and wire/butt connector it back on with the wires reversed. And thanks to t00fatts advice I tested hooking the regular halogen back up and it still works because a halogen doesn't need the positive and negative in a certain order, just a current flowing through it.
