Best H.I.D System

Kind of Off topic for the forum, but just was wondering what everyone's opinion was on which is the best H.I.D lighting system there is out there. Only real H.i.D, non bulbs.

There's several that I know of.

Phillips
Xetronic
Cibie (Made in Japan only)
Piaa (I don't know if they still market them)
Hella (?)

Or any other brands that you might prefer of. Looking for quality of the system and it's performance. Cibie seems to look the best so far, but they only have a set that goes up to 6000K.

Any thoughts?

My friend just bought some from a Maxima for $150 for his rotary powered datsun 510. I'll try and get some pics today.

Sylvania/Osram makes a HIT setup that directly replaces the round bulbs and rectangly bulbs in the FC's.

It turns out they suck ***. http://forum.miata.net/cgi-bin/ultim...=8;t=009026;p=

I was looking for a set of 6054 Rectangle replacements for my truck (The Sylvania Halogens in there suck ***. Beam pattern leaves a HUGE black hole in front of the truck. (I like the dual rounds per pod, pop up retained look in the RX-7.)

That's a pretty convient setup. The only thing I didn't like about Sylvania is their lifetime on their bulbs when I had a Galant. Other than that, they make a pretty good tint in their H.I.D style bulbs.
