Default Open to suggestions for HID kit

Hi everyone, I just bought a 2008 mazda 3 hatchback touring model.
I am looking to get some HIDs on my ride. I need help on where I can buy
some and also which is the best brand. I don't want anything ricey' so
to say or annoyingly blue. Im looking for that acura tsx look or whatever. Anyone
know a good trusted website I can browse? Or preferably, know a spot in southern
california I can go to?

Thanks for you help -gabe

Apexcone or DDM. Probably the best HID kit out right now. I have an Apexcone 6000k kit on my car right now, and its great. I just ordered a 3000k hid kit for my fogs, and ill have a pic of that up soon, well as soon as i get it in the mail.

http://www.thexenonstore.com/ I got my prolumens from here, and i have had no problems with them. The ballast is nice an thin and very easy install. I also purchased the relay harness for safety. He has a bunch of other mazda 3 stuff too. I chose to go with the 5000k lighting output because i wanted the OEM look and a brighter output. I have had 8000K's on and they looked cool but would tire my eyes out. I would only recommend them if you live in an urban environment with street lights. I then got the 6000K's and they also looked good but i wanted the stock HID look. They are more white than blue. The 5000k's are more yellow and there color output is similar to a halogen bulb but a lot brighter and very clear. OEM HID's are 4300K but the 5000k looks just about the same.

I got the DDM 5000k and they are great. Well worth the price. I need to check on fog lights so they match.
