You can use your stock light housing or get projectors. I went with projectors for the look but a lot of people say there is a noticible reduction in vision. All you need is a plug and play kit. The light bulb and ballast. I bought my 3 sets of hid's for my truck; my headlights, foglights, and a set of hid's for my trailer hitch. I bought my high beam hid's for my eclipse from the same place. The website is www.suvlights.com . Ignore the name of the site the sell hid's for all cars. I got the low beam hid's from www.i-m-racing.com since Jen who runs suvlights.com didn't have the H3's I needed for the low beams.

After you installed your lights, are they brighter than stock? I can't see with my stock headlamps.
 
Ive heard that HID can melt your headlight housing. Dont want that to happen
 
also,

whats the difference between ION and CLEAR projector beams, and whats the difference between 6000k and 8000k HID kits? just stronger output? SOURCE, do u have a picture of your car with the lights on?
 
You can find some good H.I.D. conversion kits off of www.ebaymotors.com The sell for $350-$370 which is a great deal.
Most only use 35watts compared to 55watts for normal halogen lights. The usually don't melt the housings if correctly installed and are far superior to normal halogens in light projected on the road and they last longer.

6000 Kelvans are HID's with pure white color
6500-7000 Kelvans are HID's with a purpleish tint to the pure white
8000 Kelvans are HID's with a blueish tint to the pure white

Normal 55watt halogens only register at 3500 Kelvans and look ugly yellowish white. I would get a nice conversion kit off of ebay for $350 or so and if you can't install get it installed professionally. I am sure you won't be disappointed and they function great and look expensive/futuristic like new high end BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Porsche etc.:thumb:
