I would buy the hyluxtek from diode dynamics. The ballasts have much better qc and a lifetime warranty that you most likely will never have to use. I used to run ddm on my motorcycles because they were cheap but it's hit or miss.

DO NOT cheap out on HIDs. It will be garbage quality and most likely improper/illegal.

Headlights = safety equipment = you don't go cheap.

I wouldn't buy an HID kit to slap into your halogen projectors. Retrofit in some real HID projectors (bixenon if you want more brownie points).

I know everybody is saying don't go cheap. But I went with:
http://www.hidextra.com/h11-6000k-hid-kit/

And I couldn't be happier so far. Had them in ~ 3 weeks
