Been thinking of makin my own. Wanted to see if any one has done this swap. If I knew of a car that had the right size lamp with removable bulb would be the easiest but I don't think making them would be terrible.... Any ideas guys

Go to this post and scroll down to the electrical section. There are a couple of threads on the subject on improved lighting including HIDs.

Here is the kit I am looking at.
7" Round 6014/6015/6024 Chrome Diamond Crystal Headlights + 6000K Plasma White Slim HID Conversion Kit :: 7" Round Headlights :: Headlights :: Lighting :: ModifyStreet

... And that's why it was created.

The FTE advanced search function works but ya gotta be really, really specific on the key words or else it'll return gobs of pages.

that's another option. If taking the lamps and bulbs you will still want to do the relay setup so you are getting full power to the light and not losing powers through the switch.

I wanted to make sure someone looking at this knows that you can't just grab new lenses and bulbs without setting up the relays or you will still have crappy headlights.
And yes, that is where I got the link from.

I see. 'didn't mean to step on you. I appreciate your being comprehensive in the OP's quest for HID.
