Why would you want an after market HID kit if your car is already equipped with HIDs? What are you looking to accomplish by doing so?

are you trying to go for a different look? if so, you need differnt temp bulbs, not aftermarket ballasts. the ballast has nothing to do with the way the bulbs look.

how did your ballasts burn out? are you sure its not your bulbs that are dead? What year is your G? the ballasts should still be good.

And technically "brighter" would be going down in temp not up. Yellow/White is brighter than when you get into the Blue/Purples which are higher temp but less light.

That's the general rule of thumb. But 1. going down from 4300K doesn't give you more Lumen 2. DL35 is rated at 4800K and is whiter and 30% brighter than 85122+ the stock bulb. Primarily used in stage lighting.
