The Brightest (Furthest Distance) HID Kit
Best for Projector Style Headlights in the low & high beams
Morimoto XB ELITE
The Morimoto HID kit is the best and brightest HID Conversion kit we have tested yet, beating out any Amazon or eBay kit we have tested by far. It not only shines bright, but includes UV coating on the bulbs, and a fully compatible CAN-BUS ballast option for newer cars that require it. The new 2.0 kit now includes Ballasts designed by Hylux, which is among the best on the market.

The Best Overall Value HID Kit
Best for Projector Style Headlights in the low & high beams
DDM Tuning Plus/ULTRA kits
When we tested the top HID kits from Amazon, we were very surprised by DDM Tuning. The 'Plus' model they offer is by far the brightest from anything in the sub $100 range, and offers a true pure white, almost OEM looking color, while offering many sizes, great construction, and a great price. Just be sure to pick up the CANBUS model if you have a newer vehicle with 'bulb-out' errors. Grab the Ultra kit if you also want a premium ballast system (both Plus and Ultra models come with Ultra bulbs).
