I'm actually looking into an HID conversion because my passenger's headlight connector melted away and the junkyard wants $180 for a used headlight connector. I dunno, just an excuse to do an upgrade is what I'm getting at.
so um...maybe someone can educate me about retrofitting? I have no idea what that word means, and when i look up HID kits, they say "Retrofit all domestic & imported cars, SUVs & trucks. Simple & quick Plug & Play Installation " and stuff. Lol. Thanks.

yea sure did! i was a little leary about them because i heard they are illegal, but the only thing i would really have to worry about i think is state inspection, and i already had that done on my car.

If you are so worried about it, save your time and money and keep your halogens in there.

I like the blueish color that is not possible without losing a lot of light with Halogens.
