Chime in if you have aftermarket HID kits
Ok i'm looking to get an aftermarket HID kit. Now the question is who should I go with. There's the ebay kits(cheap $180) then there's the xenondepot kit($350). I want the best bang for my buck so if you've gotten these ebay kits and they are still running strong chime in and let me know, or if they suck and failed after a couple of months let me know also. The main question is what do you have, how long, does the kit scatter alot of light and how do you like it? I'm trying to do a compare to see which kit is right for me. Also pictures would be nice because I would like to see how the cutoff looks for these aftermarket kits(pointing at a garage or something). I know these aftermarket kits will not be as good as retrofitting but I don't want to go that route. Thanks in advanced!
I wish I have something to contribute to this thread....

Someone on this forum recommended this site awhile back and to me they seem to be very good. Using Hella/Phillips ballast and D2S bulbs (also recommended by the memebers on this forum). You should check it out.

Just make sure that you order a kit and the bulb fits into a 9006 housing. Evo with OEM HID has a 9005 housing.

I had 5300k no brand HID from HIDPLACE.com, I think.
This was plug and chuck on my 04 RS. Those non-hid projector lens on Evos are great! I had focused wide and super BRIGHT beams out of those. It was much brighter than my current OEM HID on 06 SE.
I'm thinking of changing my bulbs to 5300k.
Just need to figure out which bulb type I need...
BTW, go w/ 5300k and not some bling bling colors. You want the brightness...
