i got my hids a bout a year ago and havent had a single problem with them...8k got em on ebay 150 shipped. i do however have to bring them up just a bit...i can see everything...that runs acroos the bumper but god help me if its 10 ft in front of me.lol. definetly recommend hids whether or not u get cheap or pay 400 for it. dont go above 8k ull start to lose ur ability to see far. as far as retrofitin it...i couldnt tell u..but if u do decide to do a retrofit let me know a buddy of mine work at a body shop and he gets all the projectors he wants....so if ur lookin he might have what u need.
