I've a 2006 E90 with Halogens and I've just ordered this Plug & Play kit from HIDs Direct in the UK.

http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/hid-kit...its-p-297.html

From what I can piece together, it's one of the best plug and play kits out there.

Thank you, but i have heard somewhere that if i install hid into my halogen housing, it would cause discomfort to other drivers as they scatter the light? can u explain on this? So what kinds of kits should i buy? im totally confused , i currently want to install it at the car nutz customs(cnc) and they said it will be good

Yes, forgot to mention you need a projector headlamp to properly focus the light rather than blinding other drivers. I recently bought a set of Umnitza P90s with LED Angel Eyes from www.umnitza.com

They can be a little slow to deliver but I'm really happy with the quality of the lights and lots of people say that their FX-R Retrofit are some of the best projectors on the market. When I get my HIDs, I'll be sure to do a detailed install thread to share with people as I've struggled to understand some of the information too. I've no experience with the products in that link so I honestly can't comment!
