Question Hid Headlight Kits

Just wondering if any one out there has installed one of these after market HID kits and was it worth the money?

vertex hid

I put the Vertex hid kit which I sell on my 05 and was very pleased. Very bright but does not offend to many people.

hid

I have after market high beams and they do not come close to comparing to my hid low beams. I do not use my high beams any more

All 4 HID lights on at the same time makes for a very bright surrounding area. I would not go back to another regular light after having HID lights.

hid

I also have 6000k for the low beams. They are a very white with a slight blue hue. A thing to know is that the lower the K the higher the lumens, which means the lower the K the brighter the light. But also the lower the K the more yellow the light turns. 4300k is the color temperature with the most output.
