Default HID conversion kits

I am thinking on converting to HID since I know ,there will be way improved nightvision.Going through the history of all the threads written that there are mixed reactions to the quality and reliability to these.If anyone has used these on their car,did you end up being disappointed .The projector kits apparantly don't fit too well and I know that some are in the making.Is it worth going with HID,in the meantime?

I did the HID conversion and I have to say that it is a HUGE improvment. You will want to do the PIAA 1100x foglights too.

One important item to remember is that you want to have a kit that will allow the lights to go down without pulling back on the highbeam.
