HID kits for Z32

Hey guys any of you have an HID kit for your Z, ive been looking around forums and I dont know which one is the best, I want one that has a small blue tint to it, kind of like the 350z HID, does anyone know how bright the z33 hids are? can anyone recommend me a good cheap kit?

The 99 Spec Xenons are the best IMHO, but there not too cheap $1500.
I hear CatZ makes a good kit

Anything above 6000k will sacrifice light for color. Stick below that, or go with some phatty 10000k!!! :bling:

If you go REAL HID, starter ballast and all, you won't have to sacrafice light for anything. you'll have plenty. I run a $400 HID kit (single bulb) on my offroad bike and I can ride almost as fast at night as when it's daylight.

You can just buy the bulbs off of ebay. Gives you the color, not sure about how much light. Probably same or a little better then stock halogens.

I have 7000k bulbs. They don't look blue for on coming traffic. The hi-beams add a slight blue glow in front of you as you drive.

HIDS for cheap is like asking for the war in Iraq to end tomorrow........ain't happenin'.

A little off topic but, in the clearcorners site (link) I noticed that there was a bad *** 300zx on the bottom of the page; the orange one. Does anyone know what kind of kit it has?

Off topic??? I thought it gave a pretty good explanation abou the the difference between real HID and cheap fake HID. The HID part is about halfway down after the LED portion.
