I've tried them, Luminics bulbs suck. Go with RetroSolutions HID - they are the best.

I have the retro-solutions kits. Two of them. One bi-xenon 55W for the headlights and one H3 55W kit for the PIAA fogs. I'm extremely happy with them. I went with 4200K because I was looking for maximum light output, not looks.

It's kind of hard to take good pictures of headlights but here are some I took after installing them.

First picture shows the difference in color before modding fogs to accept the HID's.



And these are after

I went onto the Retro-Solutions site and got even more confused with all the choices like slim, Bi Xenon, digital etc..... Here's what I want and maybe you guys can help me. I'm looking for a kit that has better light output than stock with a hint of blue going on to match my car below. Please help me select which kit?

6k is white with slight hint of blue. 8k is more blueish. Retro is best for quality HID. You can also get some on ebay for around $60 that also work just as well.

You want Retro-Solutions 6000k H13 55W Digital Bi-xenons for the main lamps and 6000k H10 55W Digital xenons for the fogs. Remember the higher the K value, the lower the light output.

Make sure to go through the group buy link to get the discount.

Another user of Retro Solutions 5500 kit. ZERO issues. As good as my wife's OEM HIDs...no doubt about it.
