Xtreme HID or VisionX HID Kit
Hey guys,
So I've been looking into HID lights to replace my halogens and am having a bit of trouble deciding what to go with. A lot of people around here seem to like the rpmstore offering but I've read that slim ballasts like the ones it comes with tend to dislike voltage fluctuations. My stereo gets the best of my alternator on occasion and I'm not excited about the idea of the HIDs flickering to the beat. So I started looking into more expensive sets and have settled on the Xtreme kit which seems to be the same/similar to the xenondepot lights and the Vision X kit. The Vision X kit is $100 more expensive but since the retailer is in Canada after shipping and exchange they are the exact same price. Sticking with the stereo problem, "digital" ballasts are supposedly more tolerant of voltage drop and the Xtreme mentions digital while the VisionX doesnt. In another location on the site it says the Xtreme comes with Philips bulbs but I doubt that seeing as the price. Links to the two are below:

Anybody have any opinions on which would be the better direction? Thanks!

check out ddmtuning.com for a list of hid kits. I got two of their kits, one for my bike and one for my previous car, and never had any issues with them. The installation is plug and play so you don't have to do any splicing. And the price is remarkable as compared to other kits.
