I don't think it matters much really between the 80% Japanese, and the others. But I've been EXTREMELY happy with the current 5000k set I'm on now (I finally got the brightness and color I was looking for the whole time). And yes, I bought the 80% Japanese one, and it works flawlessly.

I decided to get the 6000k HID and here is what they look like compared to car HID's.

The 6000k's are pretty good. I like the 5000k because they are just a tad bit brighter (and whiter) on the road surface. But usually any aftermarket HID kits tend to run a bit more blue/purple than OEM kits.
Meaning, if you compare an OEM BMW, Audi, Mercedes, etc with a 4300k bulb temperature to a 4300k aftermarket HID kit, the aftermarket kit will tend to have more blue and/or purple. That's why I recommend people get the lower K kits.

Why are these things illegal and would you ever run into a problem getting it inspected or ticketed ?
No. All XENON HID conversion kits, no matter the source, are not DOT approved. Moreover, in the U.S, this is not street legal for use on public roads. As a result, we officially endorse the kit for exhibition and off-road use and will only sell the kit to be used for these purposes. We are not responsible for buyers who violate the terms of sale. They will assume all responsibilities for any unauthorized or unintended use other than exhibition or off-road use.
Are these XENON HID light systems street legal?
