HID kits for cars good deal or bad?

Im trying to find a good HID kit online for a volvo S60 but im not sure what a good one would be? i saw kits for around $80-100 but im skeptical of them. Anyone have an experience in this and also what K lighting would you recommend

    HID kits enable you to pump up the temperature (K) without melting the wiring.

    The alternative is halogen lights which give you a high K but result is a dimmer light (illegal in some countries).

    $100 is too cheap for HID... light bulbs alone will cost more than that.

    Shop around... I'd got for minimum of 5000K which you can achieve just by replacing the bulbs. With HID you can go way higher than that!
