Upgraded Lights? HIDs ??

Looking at upgrading the head lights on my 03 Navi. The stock lights are fine but I've been in a few cars that have HIDs and the visibility is incomparable. I have read that the HIDs are a killer for drivers on coming.
Whats the best what'd you have to do to get it in and how much?

You have read that HIDs are killers to oncoming drivers? Haven't you ever seen them yourself?

Since the 03 Navi's Came w/ optional HIDs try to find one with that at you local pull-a-part, Should be plug n play? But you can go Aftermarket and get some that have high and low beams

The best part is you can charge them $25 to pull them back onto the road.
