Default Hids??

Are these hids worth the money? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00COOT5LK/ref=aw_ls__2?colid=3N56IBKLNBZEH&coliid=ITUGMD5CXR 3AN&vs=1
Because I'm wanting to do high beams and low beams?

nope. one, they are 10,000k, There is no reason for that high besides looks, and doing that, you loose function.
4300-5000k max for best performance. That being said, DDM Tuning: HID and LED Lighting sells cheap kits, some people have great luck with them

They have a chart there some place that explains the higher the output the color change etc

I personally have had hit or miss with their products. I'd go with theretrofitsource.com It's more expensive, but their products and customer service are second to none.

vouch for TRS. they have the best customer service ever and their tuned projectors are outstanding. go check out some of the retrofitted outfit pictures and you'll see what i'm talking about.

ahh but dont forget about HID Kits | Aftermarket Headlights | HID Conversion | KBcarstuff.com
TRS and xenondepot are there at the top in terms of quality and customer service, then you have everyone else below that LOL

Hmm, while I've never dealt with them myself, I'll take your word for it that they provide excellent service.

I have also been hit or miss with DDM, for my Accord I went through 2 sets before getting a pair that worked for my lows and that was with there wiring harness.
