There are conversion kits, but they are universal. Your best bet is www.ebay.com or www.summitracing.com

if you go with an ebay set look for the ones that are xentec's as they are high quality and usually have the best warranty. id suggest a 6/8/ or 10k kit for the best visibilty/looks

If you are in a climate that sees a lot of snow or fog stick with a lower kelvin kit 5000k would be the highest I would personally go. The slightly yellow light of the 4300k would be preferable in snow/fog as it won't reflect back as much as a white or blue light.

Do you have any experience ordering from that company? $80 for two headlights and the ballasts is REALLY cheap....

That's the other thing I was wondering; are the bulbs on that website high and low or just high? Anyway perhaps HID's aren't as expensive as I thought they were. I would totally splurge for a pair at that price, but I want to make sure they work properly.
