I will see how I go with the normal bulbs. I have tried HID bi-xenons in the past and had issues with the telescopic bulbs not working reliably. I've added relay wiring harnesses to both sides, running separate relays for low and high beams on each side, triggered by feeds from the stock harness. I may upgrade to 80/100w bulbs if I find the light output lacking from the standard 55/65w bulbs (they look a bit yellow in the picture).
In Australia you are supposed to have level adjustable headlights + headlight washers to legally run HIDs.

Looks sleeker and neater. I am very happy with the fit, they look OEM as far as panel fit goes. I used the trusty Dremel to cut away the fiberglass light mount panel to fit the new lights.
