Default Rs6 xenon question

Hey, im about to buy ecodes and one of the Rs6 xenon kits. Should I get Xenon ecodes (more expensive) or just halogen ecodes and then get an adapter with the Rs6 xenon kit? Any differences? I think the xenon ecodes are like $150 more expensive and the adapter is only like $10.
Thanks in advance

Default alot of people use halogen e-codes

as long as you can mount the ballast well you should be ok.

Default I would personally do xenon ecodes. this is after installing the RS6 kit in a halogen set...

I had to spend some time making it a clean install that I was satisfied with. of course, I am a perfectionist as well.

Default hmm- ecodes best price would be used ;-) I'm not quite sure

the bulb will sit correctly in the projector of the xenon light, whereas it takes a ton of fine tuning to get it right in the Halogen light. If you don't mind a few hours of fiddling and all that go for the halogens. Also, remember that when you later want to return your car to stock you can't sell the projectors and xenons sperately very easily seeing as you have to drill into the halogen projectors to make them work right!

Default if you wanna do something, do it right the first time... get xenon ecodes

i cut corners on a lot of things to save a couple bucks at the time, and now i'm regretting it.
