I was told about that company, however I wanted to source a distributer in the U.S.. Also, the price from "Elise-shop" is really pricy. I found sites in the U.S. for a Philips HID for around $299-$499 depending on the bulb you choose-4500 or 6000 or 8000.
I e-mailed their sites and all they needed was the type of bulb.
Thanks again.

true, you can buy quality kits in US for 400.00 or so...dont go higher than 6000K(make sure it is true Philips ultinons though or dont buy) and you will lose luminal output...anything 7000K and above look very blue to purple and the luminal intesnity is lessened....just the like the kit at Elise-shop, the ballasts are pretty much the same(stick with Hella or Philips) ...now true HID capsules are all P32d(either philips or osram) based(they are round like BMW and Audi) and they have to be rebased to fit bases such as H1, 9006 and etc...in the past, there were co's who didnt know what they were doing but now, the quality has gone up alot...stick with Philips bulbs ...you can try different bulbs but I think that is waste of time ...people who put in Silverstars say it is much better than stock, but HID's put out 2-3 times the light as Silverstars or stock bulbs...night and day difference IMO.
