installing xenon headlights????
Greetings,
I am new at this forum. It looks like a great forum from all the topics and replies I have seen. I know this has probably been asked like 100 times in this forum or others but I actually do not understand it. There is talk of putting in an HID kit that costs a lot less than original xenon but does it mean that it looks OEM or just the light inside is blueish/whitish.
I have something like this:
And would like to upgrade to something like this:
Or even LCI xenon.
Please help.
Thanks in advance .
Kelvin.

There are several options (in the order of cost, least to most expensive) -
1. Put in HID bulbs kit in the existing reflector light housing. Cost will be around $50.
2. Replace head lights housings with after market projector type of head lights and use HID bulbs. Cost may be around $500 to $700.
3. Buy a set of OEM Xenon project headlights. Used set may be $1000 to $1500. New ones will be around $2500 to $3000 for the set.

I think I like the second option best. Will this make my car look OEM xenon like the picture above? If so where can I find these products because on Ebay there are thousands of different projector/HID kits, I am not sure what product is the one I require.
