Question Morette HID

OK, i have had my morette's for about a month or so now and i want to make them HID's.. Question for everyone w/them, what type of HID's did you use? My dealer said he can get me the actual Morette HID's but he said they were pricey.. I'm not really worried about the price, i'd rather have the quality. So if anyone has the HID morettes lemme know what you think.

thanks

p.s. 1 more thing, wut color do they look like (ie. blue..)

Any aftermarket kit that replaces H7 bulbs will work. There are many different ones available. I'd suggest you stick with one that uses name brand components such as Phillips, Hella, etc. It's also preferable to have a single ballast unit rather than a separate ballast and ignitor for each bulb, installation is easier and there is one less component to fail.
As for color it depends on the particular kit and what bulbs are being used. Check the color temperature rating- 4300-4500K will provide the whitest light and the most usable illumination, as the numbers go up the light becomes more bluish and by 8000K it's noticeably purple.
Considering how much you will be spending on this it's best to actually see them in operation on another car first.
I have 4300K HIDs in my Morettes with Phillips ballasts and they work well and produce white light.
