Default Best HID Low bean Kit?

I have a 2015 Silverado and want to run a HID low beam kit? Who makes the best one in regards to quality and ease of installation? Any feedback is appreciated

Hands down, Diode Dynamics - Not cheap, but solid quality. Just installed their 5K (pure white) system and it's phenomenal, particularly through the projectors. Also matched the fogs with their pure white LED. Installation is straight forward - completely plug and play. You will have to drill a 1" hole in the center of your dust caps that cover the rear housing of your headlight. I'll throw a couple night pics up.

Here is my order (2014 Silverado)

Side Note: as a common curtesy, stay clear of HID unless you have projectors. If you have standard reflectors go with their LED.

i vote theretrofitsource.com kits start around 150, they use morimoto stuff. they also sell replacement projector lenses. you have to open up the headlights but good god are the results perfect.

do you have projectors? please don't do HIDs if you dont.

Yes. only one bulb for highs and lows. Bulb brightness stays constant but a flappy cut off thing moves when you hit the highs.

Edit: I thought you said sierras.... I don't think all silverados 2014+ had projectors till the 2016s
