What HID kit do I get?

What HID kit do I get?
If i get the housing that the bulb goes into from AutoOptiks . What HID kit do I want? i was thinking this kit . But in the other thread Ryan94ZA4 (not putting you on the spot, just so they can find it) states I would need a "D2S" bulb. So is this combo going to work? plenty of information in this thread and later in this thread. but not much on what ppl are using. I guess I want to throw this out there and see what kind of combos you people are using/like/dont like and so on.

#2 - The "kit" link doesn't work...
#3 - I didn't bother reading those other threads, but here's a few scenario's for you.
•If you want to do a HID upgrade, without changing housings, just get a 9006 (low beam) HID kit and silicone the bulbs into your stock housings. There's a guy that has done this...can't remember his screen name right off, but here's his pics.
•If you want a little better setup, then I would suggest getting the Hella Free Form FF75 Housings, that a few on here have (pu12en12g to name one) and get a H7 HID kit to go into those housings.
As far as what brand of HID kit is best, I really don't know...I think McCullough? is one of the better brands though. Watch e-bay, and find a good deal. But beware, a lot of e-bay sales aren't true HID kits, or they aren't really good ones.

Bogie, if you want to see just how ****ty those autooptiks setup is, I have a few of the housings around here somewhere.
DO NOT get the autooptiks housings ! !
Also, there are only a couple people on the entire board that have done a HID conversion so far. And only ONE that I know of on a LT1. In other words, there isn't alot of examples / installs to go by...

The only way I would even consider to upgrade to HID is projector headlights. Like the 90mm units from Hella that I just installed (still halogen tho..) Anything with a reflector creates just WAY too much glare. JMHO tho.

The best and most reliable kits that I know of are the ones with either Hella or Phillips/Osram ballasts. They are better because if bought brand new, AFAIK they are warrated, and they have a built in ignitor. DO NOT get one of those cheap Japanese knock off's, they are junk.
