Its a Hella H7 7000K HID kit in my e-spec Hellas. I like em... they are purple-ish at night like an acura. The city lights are on in the outside high beam hosuings too. What do you think?

Lights are the next mod on my car and I dont wanna go thru all this confusion so could ya help me out by listing what ALL (besides the paint lol) is needed in order to do the same thing u did. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

well, you need to get the Hella Quad Headlamp conversion (euro spec if you want the headlights on the insides like these). They replace your whole stock light housing. They are also projector lamps, so you get a much better spread of light on the road. Next, paint them to match your car if you want to... most people do. Then install or have them installed. If you want HID lighting like I just did, you have to buy an HID retro-fit kit in bulb size H7. You can get any color you want (white, purple/white, blue/white, or blue basically). Mine are purple/white like an acura. They are anywhere from $350 - 500. They replace the low beam bulbs and there is a little box that runs them called a ballast. Its about 4x5", not very big. However it is very high in electrical current so have these installed by a shop as to not zap yourself.

Its a quick, cheap install. Then you have what I have. You can skip the HIDs; the hellas improve the stock setup a lot with the halogen bulbs included.
Oh yea- McNews has the Hellas for $385

And now for the important part, who did you buy the HID kit from? There are a few companies that offer HID conversions but you have to make sure that the components in the kit are reputable. Some use stuff from Taiwan so you have to be careful.
There's a company called HIDS4LESS that sound legit. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with them
