Default Recommend me an HID Kit!

Hey fellas here is my problem. I know exactly what I want in an HID kit but am having some issues finding what I need. I'm looking for a 6000 watt low beam, 8000 watt fog, and 10000 watt high beam kit that is completely assembled and ready to hook right up. I'm not interested in piecing a kit together piece by piece (I just don't have the patience for that) and would like one that is already assembled and comes with bulbs, ballasts, the whole shebang! I found one kit on this site for about 800 bucks (**** that.) that came with everything I need. If anyone could point me in the direction of something much more reasonable I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks

HIDs are a simple install all plug and play. hids also arent measured in watts they are measured in kelvin. a good place to get hids is ddmtuning.com. they have a lifetime warrenty on bulbs and ballests. last time i checked they were 50 bucks a kit. also dont forget or headlights are reverse polarity so when you plug the ballests in you need to flip the plug 180 degrees or they wont work

I noticed them originally, but it looked like they wanted to use the factory GM housings I already have, which from what I've heard isnt nearly as transparent or effective as directly swapping in new HID housings?

I know you dont want to assemble anything I highly suggest the BLS kit from Brian here on the forums. projectors are worth it.

Otherwise just get 880 35watt for the foglights from ddmtuning

I ordered the DDM tuning kits for my headlights and fog lights on May 12. I have not received the kits or a tracking number yet and left a phone message on May 21 and sent them an email on May 24 and still have not received a response.

Got a H13 Kit from DDM for my girl's Mustang. Looks really good.

Only problem was that shipping took about 20 days. They were very backed up with all the orders.
