Default HID Conversion question

Which system would make the best conversion, the e-codes with H4 HID or the stock 2 bulb system with HID lows and standard high beams? I am using the e-code H4s with PIAA bulbs but I would like a little more light, any of you who are 65+ know what I mean! I was going to use the kit from Banks Perfomance. I'd sure like to hear from anyone who has done any HID conversions and the pros and cons and was it worth it? Thank you in advance for your advise and comments

I have the H4 headlights and I bought the HID kit that you are talking about, I got the 5000k light because they have the most light output.

I love them! with the H4 euro housings the headlights are about 4X brighter that they were with the stock H4 halogen bulbs in them!

you will not be disappointed!

I have installed a few dozen HID kits in various vechicles. I can not think of any down points. Maybe cost but that has dropped dramatically since their introduction.
