dont get 10k Blue is annoying and you wont be able to see as much compared with the white HIDS. 5K or 6K. 6 give you a little tint of blue there nice

I don't know much about HID's - but here's one bad example.

so are they safe to install them ?
if yes which brand and what website would you recommend ?

I never had that problem with my grand pri fog lights . I had 10k installed in both headlights and fog and nothing ever melted

The "K" designation (6000K, 10000K, etc) has nothing to do with the heat emitted from the light. The "K" number tells you the "color temperature" meaning how red or blue the lights are. The wattage of the bulb would be more important in determining how hot the lights will be.

Ofer (Camaro5 memeber 2SSRS, owns gen5diy.com) has the bulbs you need.

I think another issue with HID's that hasn't been mentioned is the cutoff. Without having the correct lens type (projector style) the bulbs aren't correctly projecting the light and can have the affect of blinding other drivers. Having projector style lenses helps the HID bulb direct the light appropriately. There is a reason HID lights have these types of housings and halogens have a different style. If you care about others on the road as well as the quality of light you are putting out you really should consider this. There's really more involved than just sticking a set of HID's in the hole and turning them on.
