Default Kc's or hella black magic?

Stuck between the two! Which one would you recommend?

I had some black magics and while they look cool, the light out put was less than stellar. The best non led/hid light I found was the Piaa 520 ion crystal fogs. They were crazy bright. I had them on the bumper and completely swallowed the 540 spots I had on the windshield.

I've got the 8" KC Pro-Sport HID's... 5 of them, mounted over the windshield.


They are bright, modestly priced for an HID, have lexan lenses (just like the OE headlights so they wont break) and did I mention they are BRIGHT even at long range. Only down side I can see is the polymer housings, if you whack a tree it could break off.







I actually need to adjust them down quite a bit more...

That's a tempting deal... The hella black magic just look badass ha but I would like to have good light going down range! I never thought of the piaa 520.

I have had two sets of Hella black magic. Can't imagine I'd ever need anything brighter. Go Hella!

So true that is why I converted mine to HID and now they work great
