Default c5 HID lights

does anyone have any suggestions on what HID lights i should get for my C5? I just bought some, but my front light will not close with the HID kit that I installed, the factory bulbs closed fine.

some kits supposedly do that....
I have read here that for those kits, just turn on your bright lights and then turn off the lights... that causes them to close... don't know for sure it that works.. just what has been previously posted.

or buy a wiring harness for the HID's off of "that auction site" like I did then the lights will close when you turn them off.
