Default HID! Need your suggestions!

Alright guys, I'm posting in this thread for a friend. I know nothing about jeeps, though I have installed HIDs before. His jeep is a 2007 wrangler x 4-door and he wants to upgrade to HIDs. He goes off-road once in a while, so I understand that waterproof ballasts are a must. I also understand that jeeps needs some special type of resistor (or some other component) wired inline to stop flickering.

To those that have upgraded, what is a nice and reliable waterproof kit? Bulb type and size? Any flickering issues? If so, what exactly did you use to stop it and where did you get it?

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it.

$350 per light sounds awfully pricey...I'm not looking to totally replace the housing, only the bulb. I did an HID kit like this on my last car. I picked up a kit on eBay for around $130, and the kit was of decent quality; plug and play.

I am looking with one similar that has ballasts that are waterproof and just wanting to know what exactly to do about the buzzing people are experiencing.
