Not a kit, you'll need to piece it together yourself.

FX and TSX projectors are popular, BMW and S2000 if you're baller.

You'll also need some ballasts/ignitors and a pair of D2S bulbs (get the real stuff... philips)

Even If I get new projectors I will need new ballasts and D2S

what is the difference between these new ballasts and my stock ?

She doesnt have OEM HID, thats why I was gonna buy the HID KIT.
But a i've been advised that this so callde HID Kit is not good because it blinds other drivers and I will need to get a Hid Retrofit Kit, thats expensive and a lot of work. I just wanted to get better illumination. If I get those White bulbs (4300K or 6000K) for the Headlights and Fog Lights Will she have better performance?

Thanks =)
I was talking about her halogen bulbs
Read it again, stock uncoated bulbs will provide the best performance. going with those "white" bulbs will only kill her performance

BMW (e46 style) are actually one of the worst projectors available. Baller projectors would be TL/ZKW, S2k, Porsche(decent), LS430 etc.

Hey guys I'm pretty new at this and was hoping to get some guidance around replacing my stock HID light which has blown/burt out.

The dealer wants $400!?! Which is obviously a rip off so I've done some research and know most of you like the phillips and PIAA. I'm really only looking for a reasonably priced but reliable replacement. I checked ebay and found these increadably cheap ones:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Infin...mZ250296580713

Although the reviews are good, I'm a little skeptical. Any thoughts? Would these be ok to put in?

Thanks all,

You get what you pay for. They'll burn out VERY quickly.

Most people get them for the look, not the performance =\
