Default HID upgrade kits

OK, so I got some PIAA's for my headlights and fog lights. The headlight's work great, but the fogs flash indicating I guess that it's too high of a wattage. It's been suggested that I go with an HID kit, so I was wondering who makes good kits for our JK's. Apparently on Ebay, there's HID Xenon bulbs and actual HID kits with ballasts for a true HID setup. What is everyone running?

I am running an HID kit that I import from China.

All of those kits are imported from China. Very good kit.

seems like Daniel Stern kit is the way to go, no ballasts needed.

I cannot agree more. Forget it though. You can't argue with this HID crowd. They'll never believe it.

euro spec jk come stock with hella's. not sure if they are the same but i still dont think they are bright enough. maybe if i put a 90watt bulb in they woulf be better. honestly i think the cibies are better (have them on the old vette)
this guy has fitted hids in the hella'sso might be good to ask him
