BEST HID Conversion Kit out there??
I don't have the skill or patience to do the TRS Morimoto Retro-Quik method so..
I'm thinking of getting a 5000k kit because it seems to be the most popular stock-looking color. Now I need help with what supplier to buy it from. Who has the best warranty and feedback on their products? What is the most popular choice for an HID kit? I've never done any of these mods before, this is my first new car.

So 6000k has a blue tint to it and 5000k is more of a pure white, correct?
And does it come with 3M double sided tape on the bottom of the ballasts to secure it in place? or zip ties? |

I wouldn't want any more blue tint than what i have now, they come with some brackets and hardware but we used 3M tape to mount them. If you want to PM me your phone number i will text you some pics of the installation.

Is there a Bi-Xenon option without doing the Retro Quik kit? The highbeam comes from the projector correct?

no bixenon kits since its a non dual beam harness/plug, the highbeams are from the reflector next to the projector
Im using a DDM tuning 55w 4500k kits, super bright, clean cutoff (stock projectors are great) and it only cost $45 the 35w is $35 |

Try DDM, not the best HID's out there but if youre on a budget these would probably be the best route to go

5000k pure white
 6000k crystal blue  i suggest getting only digital HID xenon kits, the analog kits you see for sale are usually less than $100/kit, and those WILL fail in a couple months time, i guarantee it, i've had both and i stay away from all analog hid kits |
