Default 60mm Hella projectors

What HID kit should I be looking for to fit the 60mm Hellas? I'm leaning toward JDM Hids

35watt HID 9006 (bulb base) for low beam
If you want OEM color stick with 4300K-5000K

Take a look at FastBright F3 ballasts.
You can find them on AliExpress (and sometimes ebay)

That's just a link to some places to get the ballast, I don't know if any of the vendors listed also have bulbs. You'll need bulbs too.

For a complete (ballasts and bulbs) cheap kit, i used to recommend DDM Tuning, but I can't anymore due to their recent quality and behavior. Some people like hyluxtek which you can find on ebay.

If you want to pay more, you can get a kit from The Retrofit Source. Some people swear by their quality. Others say to get FastBright. I can't say from personal experience since I have neither.

as a general rule I wouldn't expect any decent quality from a kit in the 50 and under price range. We just put a kit from the Retrofit source in my brothers is250 a week or 2 ago, comes with a REALLY nice dual relay harness kit, will see how well it lasts in the long run.

You need 9005 base lamps, not 9006 for the low and high beam 60mm Hella modules.
