I bought my 6K HIDs from Meng Motorsports and have been very pleased with them. If you're local to the SF Bay Area, they'll even install for you.

I've bought from them in the past when I had my Avalon. Never had a bulb go out, and they have good quality stuff. Made in USA too
I don't know if you can't discuss them, but you can't post links directing people where to buy them. Personally, I wouldn't discuss them at all, just so you don't have to deal with the moderators.

Has anyone tried the HID reverse lights? Can't remember where I saw them, but I think the current reverse lights leave a lot to be desired and I would definitely like way brighter ones.

I put my reverse in the other day. Got Kit 3 for the FR-S from HID_Powerhouse. There's a drastic improvement. Much brighter which is what I wanted.

I will have to look into that. The ones I'm talking about though are actual HID, with ballasts and everything.

I don't really think there is the kind of space back there. Also you would have to consider modifying the housing, power and lens as well to make it work properly.

I was on here, then, I couldn't remember where I saw it. Yeah, it had small ballasts and bulbs made for the reverse lights.
