Guys, I've just purchased 2 sets of lights from Rubin (xenonvisions). So far I've had nothing but great customer service. Since I just sent the money out yesterday, I've yet to receive the product. I won't really be able to give a long term review right away, but, I'll try to let you know how things look when I get them, and install them.
Cheers!

Let us know how long the kit takes to install.
Cheers.
I have since found out camera photos are garbage as the settings can and do alter the end result. So please do not waste your time.

Stay away from HID "kits"
I am taking a miss on this entire offer, the following link explains why buying this or indeed any HID "kit" is a really bad idea without a major modification of the entire lighting unit including the glass. Now if someone thinks they can put forth a scientific and quality point of view as to how Daniel Stern really knows nothing of lighting, I am all ears and ready to place an order. How can all the best minds in this area of science be wrong? They know what they speak of. Read the article and let the debate continue if need be.

All Bimmers come stock with 4300K. The projectors is what causes the light output to look a little blue-ish.

Comparing these HID kits to those on Lexus, BMW, Benz, etc is also a dumb view. Do they really think these factory lights costing upwards of $5,000 and more are in any way the same as an HID costing a couple hundred? Really?

I am a loyal Xenon Visions customer and seller. I got my first 4300K kit back in spring 2007 and absolutely loved it. The install took me about 10 minutes and the quality of the kit was top notch. My first kit lasted me about 8 months, until I accidentally got one of the ballasts wet while cleaning my engine bay. So I emailed Xenon Visions and they sent me a new ballast, free of charge. Due to the fact that they offer a 1-year warranty. Not only do the HIDs have excellent quality, but the customer service is fantastic.
I have one kit on my DB8, my GF has one on her YH1, and my friend has one on his DC5. They are both happy with the Xenon Visions kits.

A public debate is best, although I am seeing plenty who are interested in the HID look and really they could care less about the safety or quality issues involved. For myself, hitting a moose or elk in the middle of the night does nothing for my total HID look. Pissing off a cop due to a less than legal light beam is just dumb. Here the ticket has to be in the hundreds of dollars.

plus if you get like 4300k or 6000k its not really noticeable unless you get like 12000k or 10000k or i saw on xenithxenons they had like green/pink HIDs.
Go to your car, open your hood and spray your battery. Have fun!

? why would i do that? aren't ballast supposed to be waterproof, shockproof, etc proof??
how can you compare a ballast to a battery

I'm proving a point. A lot of products are waterproof, but they're not invincible. Shit happens. Things break. Get over it. Ruben has upgraded the ballasts since I bought my kit. I had his first gen kit. The new kits are much better and will withstand water.

so, if i buy something for $110 that is supposedly waterproof and i get some water on it and it breaks, i just have to "get over it" because "shit happens". How can you be so sure his new kits will withstand water when you just previously stated that products are not "invincible". Your point isn't proven.
