if you have the factory halogen i would recommend doing an hid projector retrofit. otherwise hid bulbs in a halogen housing is a major nuisance and safety concern to other drivers, also, typically people only switch out the lowbeams, which are the outer lights.

what is your budget? if you keep an eye out on the 2GS Classifieds, from time to time there are some very nice headlights already retrofitted for sale. ive seen them go for as low as $500 but if you wanted something with halos, there are the ebay ones for cheap but performance wise they arent that great.
