Default Question on HID Kit

Hey guys I noticed today my stock headlights are not cutting it anymore. I've found these two kits from Corvette Mods and think they are pretty damn good looking.

Just had a few questions:

1. Which if these can I install using the stock headlight system?

2. What is the difference between these two?

3. Are there any other kits I can install myself (Not mechanically inclined)

Thanks guys

2nd set is more expensive but I don't mind just having the white/blue bright lamps ^^

I think you would be happier with option #2. I have a set of these I bought from JPMmotorsports, he is a vendor on here. I haven't installed them yet but I have seen a lot of people on here a lot happier with them than the stock lights or the HID upgrade for the stock lights. I have the HID upgrade on mine now and it's better than stock but I believe the others are much better. I believe there is some slight modifications to do with option two but option one there isn't. Now of course this is JMO. Good luck with which ever you choose

How was the installation? That's probably my biggest deciding factor, being the difficulty of the install.

Install is 100% plug and play with full instructions and pictures. We've worked hard over the years to make these simple to instsll

Awesome to get a reply from the man himself. So the 2nd option (halo and HID) should be plug in play? No power adapter or anything?

Option 1 is the easiest to install. You still have a ballast but again, no cutting, soldering etc

Option 2 - Slight modification to the bucket housing. Outside of that, straightforward easy connections.
