    Denso or Hella ballasts. Osram CBB, CBI or CBH bulbs.

    I've had both Morimoto and XD and to be honest the Morimotos were better.

    I agree with this ^! I prefer Hella Gen 3 ballasts since they are weather proof as is. You can get Hella ballasts from a local You-Pull-It/scrap yard from early/mid 2000's Audi A4's or A6's, locally for me they run about $10ea ballast. I do prefer the OEM bulbs listed above but if you're somewhat on a budget the Morimoto XB bulbs are pretty good as well as the NHK bulbs are pretty good too/
