Well I was looking at getting some PIAA's but after reading some reviews I was disappointed.

So it's up to you guy to help me out!

I just got a set of Silverstar Ultras. They seem pretty decent, but they weren't exactly cheap... something like $45-50 for the pair.

I think I'm still a bit spoiled cuz the bulbs that were in the car when I bought it were some 100W crazy-bright bulbs. I'm surprised I didn't melt the wiring harness! lol

I have the Ultras too, pretty decent for a halogen bulb. I'll probably get the matching fog bulbs next time I see them on sale.

I am still a big fan of the Phillips Blue Vision bulbs I run in my car. They are very bright, supposedly long-lasting, and won several awards. I think I paid about $45 for the pair, so not exactly cheap, but much brighter than my stock pieces were.

I got mine at Autozone. They had a $10 mail-in rebate on the pair, but I was stupid and tore the box up when I was opening it and destroyed the UPC.

Umm.... 35w 4500k HID? That's how I roll, but it's probably cheaper in your case to stick with halogens.

Yeah, plunking down for HIDs without projectors would be a whole lotta fail. A projector retrofit would be a whole lotta win though.

The HID kit Jeff had on his speed were pretty awesome, did it come with projectors?

All 3's, speed and otherwise have projectors. The projectors on cars with factory HIDs are a bit different, though... but not a lot.

Yeah, Jeff's lights were amazing. Even with the differences in the projectors, he had almost no flare, and it was a very focused beam for what it was. Not to mention bright as fuck. I think he was running 50w 6000k tho, so it made mine look like xmas lights in comparison. Also, i've had good luck with the silverstars myself, at least in my Talon. Haven't had halogens in a number of years, and that is the precise reason the Mini is getting an HID retrofit when I can find the right housings.

I forget what the kit was. It was a GB he got over on m3f on the cheap, and it worked like a charm. Looked really good. I was impressed with the overall improvement in lighting over stock. Hell it was brighter than mine.

I think he had Apexcone's which you can get in 55w or 35w at RPMstore.

I'm picking up these this spring. Sweet price and lifetime warranty is only an additional $25.

SUDO Make me a SAMCH
55's are more likely to catch attention from the po-po, but I think if you are carefull that they are aimed correctly you'd be fine. I've been kicking around the idea of going with a 55w 6k kit, 5k is better for light output but I figure the boost from the 55w will more than make up for that.
