philips hids

well i wasnt pleased with the 3b hids i got, mainly cause the halogen high beam sucks. so i decided to do it right and get some philips hids, (philips makes hids for most of not all euro cars so they should be top quality) well i havent installed them yet, but looking at them the quality is very good, much better than the others iv seen, the lights but the ballests especially. looks like they were worth the extra money i paid compaired to other no namers. I wont recommend them though until i have installed them and see how they are. And i actually got an instruction manual with that shows me how to do the relay controller harness properly, since i had issues with the one i had before. not that i really need instructions, but its nice to have when u run into a problem. And these instruction are spacific to my lights, so no guessing invloved, which is nice.

Just my little review so far, pm me if u want the site where i got em

Good choice, the philips bulbs supposedly put out about 300 more lumens than the std. generic bulbs.
