Default Yet another HID Q....yup, I searched

Hello all. I have been a long time viewer, first time poster. Great site, tons of info. My question is, I am looking to put HID's in my 01 A4. I work for Volvo, and they use 4300K bulbs which are pretty nice, so iI think I will go with them. Which is a good set up to use? i was looking at a kit from VisionBulbs, seems to be a pretty decent kit. My main concern is, I don't want to hack anything up as far as the install. anyone use them? And do they pretty much use all the OE connectors? It looks like I may have to blow a couple holes in the 'bulb access' flaps, but I am ok with that, as long as ther is no mods to the OE bulb holder or wiring. thanks for the input!

That would be cool sniper! i just dont want to bugger up any wiring. i will give them a call and see what they have to say. of all the kits i have looked at, theirs seem to be the a pretty safe 'plug and play' i would rather do more plugging than playing

See...you said you searched, but I don't believe you. You will find opinions from people on about 5 different companies in one of the 100+ posts about this topic.

Not to be snappy, I am just gettin tired of reading the same things over and over.
