Default Helio HID's?? and easy HID questions?

I could get Helio HID's "Plug n Play" 5000k and up for a really good price. Has anyone had any experience with this brand and the quality of the product??

Also, what does usable light mean??

5000k has more than 12000k

Does that mean that 5000k will have more light on the road and the 12000k is just brighter for "Bling bling" and doesnt put out as much light on the road??

Most important is How Helio products are and should I go 5000k or 6000k??

Thanks

What brand HID's do you sell?? You're selling HID for a great price. The Helio's sell online for $400+. Someone is selling them for under $300 in another forum group buy i think.

I've got the XTEC 6000k's from Devin at www.thexenonstore.com. They are $305 shipped.

Haven't had any issues except in the beginning when one ballast was acting up. No problems since.

Hey man, when I was looking up Helio's I came by the Maxima board and they RAVED about Helios, I mean regular price is almost $500. Theres so many kits to choose from, i think im going to wait until i make more money.

I think I would get the 5000k kit

Good shit DarkSyde, glad your doing well.

So who makes your kits or are they "Homemade".

What was your experience w/ helios that made you hate them??

Found that, they seem to love Helio's. Seems like a very reputable company. May have to try them later this summer. If anyone is interested in them, PM me. I could get some good prices.

Does everybody hate HID on the SRT-4 like these people hate them.

http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3505

There are ppl that are so passionate about hating HID kits.
How does the SRT-4 crowd like the HID kits in the stock housings???

All I have heard is great things about them on this board and from what DarkSyde is saying and his customers.
