To anyone debating getting some HIDs, don't hesitate cause they are totally worth it. Mine are Rising HID. Never heard of them but I think it is a Korean brand; got them for about 200 new on ebay. You definitely get what you pay for since it is one of those cheapy units from Korea so I wasn't expecting the 500 dollars ones from Philips, but overall, I am very satisfied because I got them SUPER CHEAP with a 1 year warrantee! I also like the fact that they included brackets that you can use to mount the HID very easily actually. The included double-sided 3M tape goes on the flat metal brackets, and I also use the included zip ties to double secure it just in case. The ballast don't move with the 3M tape but you never know. Then the brackets are mounted via screws in my fender area (see pics).
As far as stock versus HID, it 100% different. When I sit in the car, I was never unable to see the beam pattern on the road with the stock halogens, but now with the HIDs, I can see the clear bright beam pattern as well as everything on the road. The beams also are a lot wider compared to stock. For example, when I am driving on the freeway, the signs lightup slightly even when they are far to the side and over me. The light itself is white 5000k, but there is a slight blue that is most prominent when you turn them on and also when looking at it at certain angles.
One of my main concerns prior to buying HIDs was blinding people and so far, I have never been flashed for having too bright lights. Never been stopped either. When you look at them in person, they aren't blinding.
I have to warn you, the pics show a ton of glare for some reason with camera I'm using, but in person, there is no glare. Everything has a clear definition, and I have to say, they totally kick ass.
