It won't be cheap, but here is a walkthrough: http://www.skafia.com/itr/hid

You are looking at over $600 worth of parts plus the good amount of downtime required for the job.

Just changed mine from OEM to SilverStars. Really excellent in my opinion. A lot brighter than originals + instead of 600 there only 35 anywhere.

Halogen bulbs don't even compare to a HID kit or a OEM retrofit. The light output for a basic 4300k HID kit is almost 3 times as much as any halogen bulb. Also, a 35w HID setup will drain the electrical system much less than a 55w halogen bulb.

i dunno how the super white bulbs are, but the yellow bulbs have lasted me about a year and they are still fine. mtec is much better than any knock off and theyll last you a while. i am in washington state also and had a lot of police watch me as i passed by (incuding state patrol) and i havent gotten pulled over. the 9005 bulb can be modified to fit into the 9006 socket but i dont know about 9007s

I'm not disagreeing with you at all, the silverstars work for me is all I was saying. 600 for headlights is a little out of my range.

I'm sure it is, but the difference is night and day. Comparing Silverstars to any HID kit, let alone an OEM retrofit, is like apples and oranges.
