Brand & model: VVME 6000k HID Kit (ebay seller for vvme.net)
Price paid and from where: $75 shipped
Pros: Easy install. Pretty decent for the price.
Cons: Output was not as great as other brand HID kits I've seen.
Final verdict: I would rather tell you to save up and get another HID kit. But this hid kit will definitely satisfy to some extent.

Brand & model: Retrofit Package: S2000 Projectors, Toyota Denso Slim Ballasts, Phillips 4300k d2s bulbs, E46 chrome shrouds, Custom made wiring harness made by Dinzdale40 on this forum.
Price paid and from where: $500+ spent a lotta money on this later on as well
Pros: S2000 Projectors are great and are considered the best single xenon projector out there. The toyota densos are very simple to work with. Can use the oem denso connectors or use crimp-on connections. The bulbs are just bulbs, pretty good. And the shrouds are very clean and oem-like. The wiring harness makes everything plug n play so it's definitely recommended over splicing into the oem 9006 harnesses.
Cons: Install was a real bitch. Since I did it myself it was. Labor runs about $300+ if you don't want to do it yourself. The densos can easily get water in them from the side holes. Had to replace mine. No problems with the rest of the stuff.
Final verdict: Once you get a taste of a retrofit, you can't go back. Or at least it's very hard to go back. But the output is so damn cool, and the fact that you have projectors on a car that don't come with them can make you feel special. But if I were to do it again, I'd go with cheaper projectors like TSXs. I could've saved over $200 if I got TSXs instead. But of course, they're no where near as good as s2ks.
