I can vouch for the brightness. We were perched in our chairs right in front of the installation station. Almost like having laser eye surgery! 
Definitely an improvement over stock. I thought it wouldn't have taken as long as it did though.
Nice work!

I just finished my install over the weekend as well.. The light output is amazing!! If you can afford to spend the $$, then this mod is well worth it. ALSO, you might want to consider getting the XPEL light protector kit. I installed this last year on my daily drive to help avoid rock chips and such. It doesn't affect the light output at all. And I never had a problem in the year that it's been on the car.
I paid $35 for a pair of the XPEL protectors. Well worth the $$ considering how much the HID kit costs.

This was a Vette-HID kit being installed.
A little "technical difficulties" with the new style harness slowed down the install, but all went perfect after that.
as you can see from the pics, Brian was there to make sure ANY issues were resolved promptly!
He knows these kits inside and out!
you will only get this kind of customer service from Vette-HID!
John,
enjoy the new headlights
It was a pleasure to meet you!

The Vette-HID kit is a very well designed kit and very attractive. Looks like it is made well. It is on my list of things to do. I'm going bi-xenon beeeeotttch!
