Default HID help!!

Hey Yall I live in Atlanta Georgia and I am thinking about retrofitting my headlights to a 6K HID. Online there is a website of lot of information on HID's called theretrofitsource.com. Has anyone dealt with them before? They seem legit.

Also I live in the North end of ATL and i just wondered if anyone knew of a good place that installs good quality kits and is reputable.

Any help would be good regarding my hunt for a business that sells and install good quality HID's headlights.
Thanks

Awesome, Thanks Guys! That helps out a bunch, I dont want PNP kits so it looks like TRS is the right way to go.

I am not an electrician and and i dont want to install them, do you know where i should get them installed... Offroad shops, body shops, other upgrade service shops.

On TRS they have a shop near my house so i think i will check them out in the morning. Thanks for such a quick reply!

O Ok nice, I Had 6k HID in my stock projectors then I am back to Halogens due to all the problems it caused me. I think i am going to spend the extra money and go through TRS and retrofit my projects and do it the right way.

I did 5k 35 watt, and I paid the few extra bucks for the high beam harness. It's nice having your high beams back, most PNP hid kits get rid of them
