ORIGINAL: timplett

Are those a full replacement HID headlight or just the original headlights retrofitted to HID? I looked at the link to HID planet and they just have kits to change an existing headlight to HID, but the headlight in the pic didn't look like a converter OEM to me.
The HID planet link will get you what you need to make your own HID's...that SRT-4 has those HID ballasts with a custom surround in the headlight housing. Theres a member on SRT Forums that makes those kind of kits (bi-xenon) and housings for $800 i think...

Well the ballasts are $500, then parts and labor for making them, shipping them, etc...you can also buy HID's out of other brand cars (infinite, lexus, acura, etc..) for much cheaper and custom mount them in some cheap DEPO headlight housings.

Yeah that sounds a lot more reasonable, I should be able to handle that myself, I'll try anything once. lol Not at the moment though, something to file under future plans. At the moment I haven't had the money to start on anything at all yet, and I think suspension will come first, then brakes, because it's got some pep already, so if I can just get'er to wip through those curvy hills I'll be pretty happy.

But once you get it all under the hood, then it will all be worth it.

Hell yeah it'll be worth it...its just slightly depressing when you realize you've spent $2k and still have nothing to show for it...
