I've been down the HID route a few times and don't recommend it. The projector in a non xenon light is not designed to work with an HID kit. It just scatters light all over the place in my experience and you end up blinding drivers coming in the opposite direction. I'd go with something like Osram Nightbreakers / PIAA Xtreme or similar and if that's not enough for you, then maybe consider the (illegal) option of relays and 100w bulbs...............or change to xenon units and adapters!

Hope that helps. :happy2:
