Default Looking to upgrade headlights

I have a 02 with yellowed headlights, so to kill two birds with one brick as it were( I don't have any rocks). I am looking to replace the whole assembly and add hids. I have looked through all the threads I can and can't find any definate answers. But my question is this a good setup? If not can anybody recomend something? Also it looks like there is a bulb in the hole next to the projector? Thanks.

Yeah the halos are a good setup . I have some black housing ones on my 04 sxt. Only problem is the halos dont always work at least mine dont.

Did you guys have to run any wires to the battery to get more power for the HID lights? Or will the stock wires provide enough?

I dont have hids got rid of them when I got the headlights just running the stock h1s or h3s forgot what they use. I might try hids when I get my black housing projectors from modern. Im pretty sick of the halos not working like they are suppose to.

If the wheels and other trim are silver/chrome, the chrome would probably go best. I've got black wheels and such, so I'll get black one of these days.
