If you go true HID, you should change the stock fluted lenses for a projector style so you don't blind oncoming drivers.

Just changing the bulbs to a set of colored ones is a lot easier for some people.

If you use bright H4 Bulbs in OEM housing, you will have better light output then HIDS in an OEM Housing.

The proper way to convert to HID's is to do a HID Retrofit, and that will cost alot more then $60 bucks.

As teal stated you can get headlights with clear lenses so that they wont refract the light. blinding other drivers and make it harder for you to see.

I breifly had a 5600k HID plug and play kit in my delsol. There was more light being thrown out, however not much was usable.

Also if you do the H4 bulbs and there a bright aftermarket bulb, they recommend using a high output harness, it will say so on the bulb package normally, but basicly its a headlight pigtail with a heavy gauge wire you solder in, but its fairly easy to do :thumb:
