    I did that after I posted. Crap, I would've preferred that. Perhaps down the road.

    Do these lights require a conversion kit? I've no idea.

    HID conversion would cost you about 30 times what your bulbs cost. Considering you car is already 3 years old, it is not worth it.

    Just remember to check that box when you buy a new car.


    When I said "easy" I meant the parts are all readily available and the end result would be factory perfection. I did not mean cheap.

    OK but those are kits.

    HIDs are HIDs.

    They are not conversion kits. There is nothing to convert if the car or application has them.

    I have an HID spotlight I didn't do any conversion, except my cash into a spotlight.

    Also, too late, but if your car is still under warranty and is bumper-to-bumper, the headlights may be covered (they were on my Hyundai).
