What are the general options to get HID ligthing on my car?
The options are many. When converting to HID in Halogen housings, the success rate is mostly based on how much light is actually going above the cutoff line, and how even the beam spread is, not if the glass is fluted or not. This page describes all HID upgrade options, not just the “HID bulb placed into a halogen socket” option. A reason for just choosing the best halogen available could be that you dont have time, lots of patience, planning skills and finacial priorities for going the HID route. An HID install will set you back $300 – $1800, all depending on how much tools and parts you already have. You dont know how much before you start planning.
