Those retrofitted ebay type HID setups are illegal. They are not a good idea anyway. The headlight housing and lense was designed for the halogen bulb that is in it. The HID bulb is positioned in the housing differently. It will produce excessive glare to oncomming vehicles.

Please don't be one more person that puts that blinding crap on their vehicle. I also wouldn't want another reason to get pulled over because of having illegal lights.

The correct way to convert to HID is to run a complete setup with housing lense and all.

Also stay away from the tinted blue bulbs etc like Silverstar. They actually prduce less light than clear bulbs, its just whiter.

If you want better headlights, get a head light relay kit that will provide more current to the bulbs and run some brighter bulbs like Sylvania Xtravision, GE Nighthawk, Phillips Vision Plus etc. They are +30% or +50% bulbs that run at the same wattage as the stock bulbs. Do not run increased wattage bulbs. They will run hotter.
