Oh and Cibie's are made in France, they're really nice...
I prefer Hellas and they are made in Germany
you Can't go wrong with Hellas man, they're just as good I think. :D
precisely, autopal which is made in india is just as good as hella but half the cost can be found on ebay
you want housings that are made of glass not plastic
i have not seen any real projector housings yet only fake ones that are made of plastic

Cibie and Hella are two companies that really know what they are doing with headlight design. I've used Hella headlights and compared to other companies the Hella lights are far superior.
The Cibie driving lights I had on my 4WD years ago used 50W lights and I've never had a better pair of driving lights....even other Hella and KC Daylighters at far higher wattage do not compare to the Cibie lights.
And Anastasiofan92is right..you can't just throw a HID set up into halogen reflectors...it does not work, and you'll get better usable light out of good quality halogens.

You wouldn't believe how many kids (guys my age usually) come into Autozone (Where I work for the summer) and ask about this and I go through the same thing over and over again. I usually can convince them to steer away but every once in a while you have a guy who can't be convinced.
