[V8] Best HID upgrade for V8Q?

[Scott Baumann - PTS Power]

Well, it's been almost one year since I sent my V8Q down the road to another
owner, replacing it with an 00 A8.  Love the A8, but am having a bit of a
hard time as winter approaches with it's ravages of snow, ice, road salt,
sand and gravel.  I've put 45K on it in a year's time as well, which does
not help the value side of the equation.  I bought my A8 with 65K on the
clock, and am extremely happy to say that it has been 100% bulletproof.  My
wife has even managed to cause $1500 damage to another car while backing up
(slightly poor visibility I might add) with NO damage to the A8, as well as
a blowout on a front tire (BTDT on my old V8Q), with absolutely no loss of
control or even a rise of the thrill meter. There must be some factor with
Quattro drive that prevents the loss of control upon tire blowout as you
would have with most other vehicles - perhaps simply a driveshaft being
connected?  In addition to all of the other usual accolades, I count my
Quattros as defenders of life itself while on the open road. 

Now to my subject question - thanks to Ron W, I will be once again behind
the wheel of a V8Q.  My question is concerning the various HID upgrade kits
out there on the market - what has proven to be a good fit for the V8Q?  I
noticed one guy on Motorgeeker who had a pretty slick and seemingly
effective kit that he had installed & posted some photos of.  Anybody have
any recommendations?
