Recommended HID Coversion kit?

I wanted to see which conversion kit people would recommend I go with for my FR-S. I'm looking for tangible recommendations and prefer quality over lower cost. Thanks in advance.

Are there retro fit kits that don't produce glare and actually work properly with the optics? I'm skeptical because I have seen so many annoying conversions.

Definitely contact The RetroFit Source. You can get the mini h1 projectors. Those will retrofit the headlights but halogen projectors to HID projectors.

A lot of people usually put HIDs in Halogen projectors which causes the glare due to the beam pattern. It's better to retrofit the projectors so it works well and has the correct light output.

You can also buy HIDs from them as well, but once you retrofit with the mini h1 projectors, you can ultimately use any HID system.
