you should check how much shipping is first. the install is very easy. audiworld.com probably has a diy for it

There's a guy here that sells HIDs are $130 for 12,000k and below HIDs, and $150 for anything above 12,0000k. He's not running an actual business, but I guess all the businesses are jealous of his deals. His brand was a German brand, but he was talking about how most of these HIDs sellin around are just knock-offs that are japanese made and what not. I'm a little confused about that. HIDs are HIDs, aren't they??

As with anything, the quality of the components that go into the product determine the quality of the product. I have no idea who has the highest quality country-wise, but the Philips kit I had in my 300Z was fantastic - it seemed much better made than the VVME and related kits for a number of reasons.

To the OP, go for it, but stick with 6000k and below for optimum light output.
